For those of you not familiar with the film…

"The Age of Stupid stars Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite as a man
living alone in the devastated world of 2055, looking at old footage from 2008
and asking: Why didn’t we stop climate change when we still had a
chance?"

“Captivating and constantly surprising…the first successful dramatisation
of climate change to reach the big screen” – THE GUARDIAN
“Urgent, compelling and persuasive” – TIME OUT
“Knocks spots of An Inconvenient Truth” – THE ECOLOGIST
“Slaps you round the face, then punches you in the stomach” – THE SUN
“Every single person in the country should be forcibly made to watch this
film” – KEN LIVINGSTONE

This has been another outstanding year for the Documentary Film course and our students have won another cabinet full of prizes. At the 2009 Ffresh awards we scooped Best Documentary, Best TV programme, Best Drama, Best Short film and the Audience Award. Halb by Rabea Gorny also won the 2009 Royal Television Society award (Wales). Our students and graduates continue to have their films screened at festivals and competitions throughout the world and crucially, continue to break into the British television industry with exciting and innovative work. A graduation film from 2008, ‘Jukebox Juniors,’ received its network premiere on BBC1 in March this year. Some of the 2009 graduating students have been working closely for the last year with veteran documentary filmmaker Paul Watson on a documentary project in London; he described the Documentary Film & Television course as, “the healthiest in the country”.
