This touring festival of international short films explores our interior responses to many possible climate futures.

While climate change is front-page news, in our own back pages many are grieving. Or mutely frightened. Or numb. Or outraged. Or isolated and feeling hopeless. Others may be oddly celebrating a future of climate disorder.

This short-film festival explores the full range of human and artistic response to what may be coming next. Dramatic, comic, hopeful, despairing, absurdist, documentary, animated: one's heart and vision have a home at the Climate Future Film Festival℠.

BILL McKIBBEN, America's leading voice and author on climate, is the

Festival's Honorary Judge and introduces it on screen.

Includes Q&A and Live performances by Desert Stars & The Re-Mains

Gravel Road is the story of Jay Minning, singer-songwriter of the most remote rock band in the world, the Desert Stars.

His four-piece band are traditional land owners of Spinifex Country, in the Great Victoria Desert, Western Australia — home of the last nomads.

From their home in remote Tjuntjuntjara, we follow Minning and his band’s first-ever tour as they rock their way across the Western Desert with songs of hunter-gatherer life. Their elders survived the British atomic testing (at the infamous Maralinga site) and the band’s profound connection to culture spans back 2,000 generations.

With customary Spinifex reciprocity, Minning shares the journey with East-Coast friends, a band named The Re-mains, providing a rare glimpse into his country, his culture, his music and his extraordinary everyday life.

From Éric Besnard (Delicious) comes A Great Friend. Packed with laughs, A Great Friend lets audiences experience the stunning vistas of the Auvergne-Rhône Alps, in a charming tale of friendship.

Vincent (Lambert Wilson, De Gaulle) is a high-flying entrepreneur. One day single-handedly sailing his yacht, the next, being interviewed on national television. While driving on a rugged mountain road, Vincent’s car breaks down, temporarily interrupting his frantic lifestyle.

Hirayama seems utterly content with his simple life as a cleaner of toilets in Tokyo. Outside of his very structured everyday routine he enjoys his passion for music and for books. And he loves trees and takes photos of them. A series of unexpected encounters gradually reveal more of his past. A deeply moving and poetic reflection on finding beauty in the everyday world around us.

The Sitting Duck is the true story of Maureen Kearney (Isabelle Huppert), the head union representative of a French multinational nuclear powerhouse.

Her life was turned upside down when she was violently assaulted in her own home... The investigation is carried out under pressure: the subject is sensitive. Suddenly, new elements create doubt in the minds of the investigators. At first a victim, Maureen becomes a suspect.

In this masterpiece from the Coen Brothers, William H. Macy stars as Jerry, a desperate Minnesota car salesman drowning in debt, who concocts a plan to have his wife kidnapped by two thugs, played by Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare, to extort a hefty ransom from his wealthy father-in-law.
