'Living proof, a climate story': 50 years of Scotland's film archive
A screening of ‘Living Proof: A Climate Story’ (2021), the second in an event series celebrating 50 years of Scotland's film archive at Kelvin Hall.
This documentary was made from curated footage from the National Library of Scotland's film archive. It explores Scotland's complex relationship to the global climate crisis through film and music. The curated footage shows how our environment has been shaped by the demand for energy, industry, and growth.
Director Emily Munro frames Scotland's post-war history through the lens of the climate debate. She invites audiences to revisit the promises of the past and consider how they relate to our future. The film asks: Was climate change inevitable? Can we break free from a boom-and-bust mentality? Are we able to adapt to ensure a healthy and sustainable future?
The film features contemporary music by Louise Connell, Brownbear, and Post Coal Queen.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director and curator, Emily Munro.
