In films about climate change, the medium is the wrong message

By Allan Stromfeldt Christensen | July 7, 2015

climate films

If you'd like, I'm what you'd call an ex-(aspiring) filmmaker, an early vanguard of what promises to be, in one way or another, an eventual mass exodus from the film and television industries. I won't go into my reasoning behind film and television's future demise here, but suffice to say, if left to its own devices, the future of film and television is in the hands of peak oil … [Read more...]

For even though there were bloggers out there discussing the possible ramifications of low oil prices, its possibility still didn't … [Read more...]
