A tipping point is a climate science term, indicating a critical threshold. Once crossed, it will inevitably lead to catastrophic and irreversible climate breakdown with the entire system changing from a more stable state to an utterly unpredictable state.
After the planet crosses the critical warming threshold, this will then accelerate the breakdown of ecology, world economy and human civilization, with a socioeconomic system hurtling towards unprecedented catastrophe in human history. Just as the coronavirus knows no borders, the impacts of an increasing warning planet recognize no national borders. They further threaten generations to come.
The biennial Nuclear Film Festival is the first of its kind in Asia. After organizing it for four consecutive events, the festival entered its tenth year in 2023. In response to climate change, which has been triggering both natural disasters and social calamity, Green Citizens’ Action Alliance has decided to rename the festivity Climate Tipping Point Film Festival.
We aim to raise climate awareness, bring to the fore the social causes of catastrophes and then draw the lessons of the sustained social crimes perpetrated by states and multinational corporations that have caused existing conditions.
In addition to retaining the standard theme of anti-nuclear movements along with everything radioactive, the re-branded film festival will cover issues ranging from climate action, the fallacies of profit drives, the immense power of big oil to climate chaos, and more.
From March 11 to March 19 2023, we are going to bring together a total of 15 documentaries from four continents, including countries such as Italy, France, Spain, Britain, Switzerland, South Africa, Cambodia, China, Taiwan, Australia, Puerto Rico along with the United States. These films either feature the way corporations subordinate climate system, ecosystem and the well-being of the masses to the interests of the corporate elite amid an ever deepening political, social crisis or to highlight the life-and-death social and environmental struggles raging across the world as people try to reverse worsening living conditions exacerbated by climate change.
Date: 3/10-3/19
Venue: SPOT-Huashan cinema, Realguts cafe
