世界首映的“超越气候”

David Suzuki helps launch new film directed by UWinnipeg professor

伊恩博士fi毛罗。最新的气候变化lm,超越气候,将在多伦多举行的焦点国际电影节(10月26日,星期五)举行全球首映,并在Gimme的一些真相纪录片节(11月2日,星期五)举行温尼伯首映。这部电影将观众超越了头条新闻,并进入了不列颠哥伦比亚省和国家面临的紧迫气候问题的核心 - 从管道和土著权利到森林大火和改变海洋的核心。

“Beyond Climate is a wake-up call that shows how a warming world is already affecting ecosystems, human communities, and the economy,” said Mauro. “British Columbia is a sentinel province in Canada, in terms of climate impacts, but also solutions that can get us beyond the challenges to realize a truly sustainable future.”

这部电影是由著名的科学家,广播员和作家戴维·铃木(David Suzuki)叙述的,他们将参加多伦多和温尼伯的活动,与媒体交谈,并参加放映的Q-And-A。铃木和毛罗(Mauro)是长期的合作者,这是他们的第五次联合演讲,旨在使加拿大人参与气候变化。

“This film is particularly important in the context of the recent UN report on climate change, which suggests we only have about a decade to radically reduce fossil fuel use in order to stabilize the climate,” said Suzuki. “We’ve got one last shot at making this right for future generations and I encourage all Canadians to be part of climate dialogue and action.”

联合国气候变化的政府间小组(IPCC)最近的报告,题为Global Warming of 1.5°C, indicates that it is possible to stabilize the climate — provided we act within the next decade to be globally carbon neutral by 2050.

超越气候represents the most recent segment in Mauro’s trilogy of climate change films across Canada, which includesQapirangajuq:因纽特人知识和气候变化(co-directed with acclaimed Inuk filmmaker Zacharias Kunuk) and加拿大大西洋的气候变化. These projects represent research and cinema as one.

The Winnipeg screening will be preceded by a free public dialogue — focused on climate change and our common future. This dialogue is sponsored by The University of Winnipeg and will focus on Suzuki’s and Mauro’s efforts to engage Canadians regarding climate change.

Journalists are welcome to attend the film screenings and discussions (at no cost). Interviews are available on request.
