The Gluts The Gluts Go To Copenhagen (2009)
HD Video, 37 minutes, colour, sound
Online 30 November to 13 December 2015
In December 2015, thousands of civilian activists, climate based foundations and NGO’s will descend on Paris for COP21 – the 21st United Nations conference on climate change. To coincide with the conference and related events we are screening ‘The Gluts Go To Copenhagen’, a short documentary made during a previous climate change summit, COP15, which took place in Copenhagen in December 2009.
This film is about ‘The Gluts’, an environmentally crusading girl-band comprising Gina Birch, Kaffe Matthews and Hayley Newman. The Gluts formed in 2009 to write ‘Café Carbon’, sixteen songs about food and climate, which they took to the Copenhagen Climate summit (COP15) in December 2009, adding their voices to other concerned citizens urging governments around the world to take action on climate change.
Watch the film for free on the LADA Screens Channel between 30 November and 13 December 2015.
