collective antidote

Think of this as a socially conscious soapbox to ignite the mind, tickle the emotions, and stir the soul. A forum to challenge convention. To inspire a better world. Smart and creative thinking, progressive solutions, social consciousness, hope. It's our collective antidote to the seemingly insurmountable challenges facing us. It's a project of Antidote Collective.

Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite stars 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 had the chance? (89 mins.) On September 21 and 22, on the eve of the UN General Assembly's climate session, The Age of Stupid had a global premiere billed as the "biggest and greenest live film event ever": 700 screenings in 50+ countries. Stephen Johnson, a Greenpeace lead activist, will be on hand for discussion. He organized a screening at our Kingston space as part of the 350.org International Day of Climate Action, Oct. 24. Roughly 60 people attended. * * * * * * * * * * * * * Each month at this intimate, informal gathering at the hive, we show a film with a message — sometimes entertaining, sometimes political, always inspiring, engaging and thought provoking. We start the evening with a kind of bring-your-own happy hour and then screen the film around 7pm. We'll have healthy, organic popcorn.
