SUMMARY:FREE film screening of The Oil Machine
DESCRIPTION:Abergavenny and Crickhowell Friends of the Earth present the second film in their season of films about the climate emergency.\nThe film, produced by Emma Davie for BBC Scotland  and premiered at the Sheffield Docfest in 2022, explores our complex relationship with the oil industry, set against the backdrop of the ongoing fight for North Sea reserves.\nFrom the discovery of huge oil fields off the coast of Scotland to their mass privatisation during the Thatcher era, The Oil Machine highlights how oil became the invisible engine driving UK economic and public policy. In the wake of COP26 in Glasgow, the timing of this film’s release is a spotlight on the urgent demand for climate action as public anxiety and the pressure on both oil companies and the government continue to mount. Bringing together a wide range of voices, from industry executives and economists to young activists, this documentary presents a thought-provoking investigation into how this insidious oil\nmachine might be dismantled.\nWith only five to ten years to control our oil addiction and dramatically reduce carbon pollution, oil companies still try to persuade us that they can carry on drilling while keeping to Net Zero ambitions through adopting new technologies, such as Carbon Capture. But climate scientists are deeply sceptical of the Net Zero concept and the time it would take for\nthese technologies to be effective.\nThe film is FREE, Certificate PG – recommended for young people of secondary school age. Under 16s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.\nDonations welcome.\nFilm starts at 3pm; doors open at 2.45pm. Running time 85 minutes.\nParking limited at the Community Centre. Entrance on Merthyr Road.\nNO PARKING in Park Street.\nPlease use rear access to building from carpark. Upstairs, 3 rd door on left.\nNearest public carpark, Byefield Lane; 10 minute walk.\n
