“The disaster flick is riddled with inaccuracies, cliches and gusts of machismo. But with its global climate catastrophe, it feels more relevant than ever”
Lauren Collee - The Guardian
An Enviro Film Club Self-Care Special!
Sometimes we all just need to relax with a Hollywood popcorn-fest, so on Sunday 8 November, the day after the festival, the team will run a special session of their monthly ‘Enviro Film Club’ spotlighting the Jake Gyllenhaal 2004 disaster movie The Day After Tomorrow.
Jack Hall, paleoclimatologist, must make a daring trek across America to reach his son, trapped in the crosshairs of a sudden international storm which plunges the planet into a new Ice Age.
Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid) is a climatologist whose concerns about the dangerously shifting climate are largely ignored by officials at the United Nations. His research proves true when an enormous "superstorm" develops, setting off catastrophic natural disasters around the world. Trying to get to his son, Sam (Jake Gyllenhaal), who is trapped in New York with his friend Laura (Emmy Rossum) and others, Jack and his crew must travel by foot from Philadelphia, braving the elements, to get to Sam before it's too late.
