Remember when only nerds watched science flicks? Thankfully times are a changin, especially when it comes to films about the environment. Expect a packed house tonight when the Black Cat Cinema screens documentaries, 'The Cloud Mystery' and 'Inuit Knowledge on Climate Change,' both films offer a unique and visually intriguing take on the topic.
The Cloud Mystery is a scientific detective story covering 10 years of pioneering experiments by Danish scientist, Henrik Svensmark, who solved the puzzle of how the Galaxy and the Sun interfere in our everyday weather. These provocative revelations challenge the belief of most climate theorists that carbon dioxide has been the main driver of global warming. As a result the Copenhagen based scientist has faced never-ending opposition.
Inuit Knowledge & Climate Change is the world's first Inuktitut language film that documents the knowledge and experience of Inuit elders and the impact of climate change. The film takes the viewer “on the land” with elders and hunters to explore the social and ecological impacts of a warming Arctic. This unforgettable film helps us to appreciate Inuit culture and expertise regarding environmental change and indigenous ways of adapting to it.
