Can climate change really destroy the human race? That is what the 2009 documentary film The Age of Stupid, which is being shown at the Italian Cultural Institute in Valletta on Monday, suggests.

Directed by Franny Armstrong and starring Oscar nominee Pete Postlethwaite (In the Name of the Father, The Usual Suspects, Brassed Off), the film takes us to the year 2055, when the world has come to an end, and through the journey that brings about this devastation.

The screening will be followed by a discussion on climate change and its relevance to the Maltese islands.

The film starts at 8 p.m. Entrance is free. Those attending will also get a free ticket to see the Valletta Living History show.

The event is a joint collaboration between the Malta Resources Authority, British Council, Science is Culture, Malta Café Scientifique, Malta Chamber of Scientists, Valletta Living History and the Italian Cultural Institute. For more details e-mail scienceisculture@gmail.com.
