TEMPERATURE is an experimental film that plays with the overlapping of video footage, photos, and animation to create textures and colors that resemble the color temperature while showing how our everyday life could directly and indirectly cause the carbon footprint.
I Am Greta Screening
The story of teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg is told through compelling, never-before-seen footage in this intimate documentary from Swedish director Nathan Grossman. Starting with her one-person school strike for climate action outside the Swedish Parliament, Grossman follows Greta - a shy schoolgirl with Asperger’s – in her rise to prominence, and her galvanizing global impact as she sparks school strikes around the world. The film culminates with her astonishing wind powered voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to speak at the UN Climate Action Summit in New York City.
