Thanks to Sandra Tan's reference, I now know about this film to be played at the NUS Arts Festival, called Energy Crossroads - a burning need to change course. By Christophe Fauchere, its a 54min long documentary following the global population increase and drastic need for energy.

As our global population and its appetite for energy rise drastically, resource depletion and global warming have become the most pressing issues facing humanity...when demand exceeds supply...within the next 15 years..how can we avoid an energy crisis and a possible collapse of our economy?

In addition to increasing geopolitical conflicts, the process of extracting and using these crucial resources is endangering the very own habitat that we depend on to prosper as a species ... for us to survive our modern self-destructive societies, we will have to change course drastically and as fast as possible.

This award-winning documentary exposes the problems associated with our energy consumption. It also offers concrete solutions for those who want to educate themselves and be part of the solutions in this decisive era. The film features passionate individuals, entrepreneurs, experts and scientists at the forefront of their field bringing legitimacy and expertise to the core message of the piece.

FREE at the UCC courtyard, catch this show at 8pm on 7th March.

The other film that Tiroir A Films created was The Great Squeeze, and you can check it out through the link here. Reflecting similar issues, it is another award winning film by the same company. Won't be shown at the Arts Festival though, for this one.
