White Plastic Sky + Q&A
Screening as part of Take One Action Film Festival 2023. Take One Action is an ad-free festival: please take your seats in the cinema at the advertised start time.
In this gripping dystopia about life after climate apocalypse, humans can only live until 50 before they are turned into trees.
Budapest, 2123. Climate disaster has rendered the earth uninhabitable, except in one sealed enclave where the last of humanity can be found: yet survival is contingent on every human being turned into a tree at the age of 50. Reckoning with grief, Nora volunteers her body before her time – and her husband Stefan embarks on a dangerous journey across the earth’s barren landscape to save her life. A spectacular, rotoscoped sci-fi odyssey imagining how we come back from the brink.
BEYOND THE SCREEN:
Join us in conversation and after the film with writer, grower and community organiser Martha Adonai Williams to explore the possibilities, and limitations, of dystopian science fiction, and how we can imagine different futures, together. The introduction and post-film conversation will be live captioned.
