People's Emergency Briefing film showing

Gilmerton Community Centre is showing the film People's Emergency Briefing on Thursday 29 October, with the screening starting at 17:45. It's a straightforward film showing, so the main event is the film itself rather than a supporting line-up. If you've heard the title before but haven't seen it, this is a chance to catch it on a big screen in a community setting rather than on your own.

For those who aren't familiar, People's Emergency Briefing is a documentary that looks at the climate and ecological emergency, putting the science and the politics into a single frame. It's the kind of film that doesn't shy away from the scale of the crisis, and watching it in a room full of people usually makes for a different experience than watching it at home. There's something about seeing it with others that changes how the information lands, and it often leads to conversations that carry on long after the credits roll.

The screening is being held at Gilmerton Community Centre, at 4 Drum Street, Edinburgh, EH17 8QG. It's a well-known spot in the south of the city, and the 17:45 start means you'll be out well before the evening is over, which is handy if you're coming from work or have other things on. The film is the sole focus of the night, so you'll get the full run of it without any distractions. If you've been following the climate conversation and want to see one of the more direct films on the subject, this is a good way to do it. The screening is on Thursday 29 October at 17:45 at Gilmerton Community Centre, 4 Drum Street, EH17 8QG.
