The People’s Premiere.

 “The Age of Stupid” will be launched on March 15th in a solar cinema tent in the park in Leicester Square, and simultaneously at more than 60 other venues, including The Eden Project and a kids-only event in Fulham. As an INclusive, rather than EXclusive, premiere, the public can buy tickets (£10, from today) to their local cinema and watch the green carpet arrivals and post-film Q&A live by satellite link-up from London. The whole event - but not the complete film, obviously - will also stream live on the internet and in Second Life.

Eco-Premiere.

The star of the film, Pete Postlethwaite, will arrive by solar car before posing for the papparazzi on the green carpet. Other celebs will come on foot, bicycle, bike rickshaw, public transport or biodiesel cars (chip fat from local Leicester Square chippies will be collected in wheelbarrows by youth volunteers on the Friday). Every part of the event - from power sources, to food, to transport, to ink, to clothing - is genuinely green, as opposed to greenwashed. Full eco-audit available soon: www.ageofstupid.net/ecoaudit

Largest Ever Premiere?

With a capacity of over 16,000, the Guinness Book of Records will hopefully soon confirm The Age of Stupid as the largest ever film premiere. The event is supported by the UK FIlm Council.

Eden Project Premiere.

Transition Towns founder Rob Hopkins will introduce the Eden event and host the Q&A afterwards. Tickets £10 from Eden box office or www.ageofstupid.net/premiere

Youth Premiere.

The Fulham Vue cinema will host an event for under 18s, organised by WeCAN, with young speakers and action packs to take away. The film has a 12A rating, so any children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Equally, any adult without a child will not be admitted. Enquiries: info@wecan.uk.com . Press: 07970 870 026
