Beyond Oil + BIFF: YOU NEED THIS
Welcome to a provocative evening exploring consumerism and identity with Bergen International Film Festival (BIFF), the City of Bergen and CET.
To warm up for the Beyond Oil conference, we have teamed up with the Bergen International Film Festival (BIFF) and the City of Bergen for an evening exploring consumerism and identity.
YOU NEED THIS? The Climate Cost of Wanting More
What drives our desire for more—and what does it cost us?
Join us for a provocative evening exploring the connections between consumer culture, identity, and the climate crisis. After the screening of YOU NEED THIS, a documentary that examines the individual and societal effects of consumerism and hyper-capitalism, we will unpack how hyper-capitalism and propaganda shape our desires.
Explore how identity, propaganda, and economic systems shape our world—and how we can shape a better one.
Panel conversation:
- Naomi Oreskes, Henry Charles Lea Professor of the History of Science, Harvard University
- Ryan Andrej Lough, Director, YOU NEED THIS
- Tale Hungnes, Leader, The Future in Our Hands (Fremtiden i våre hender)
- Moderator: Stina Oseland, Climate Director, City of Bergen
Both the film screening and the panel conversation are free and open to everyone. Tickets will be posted on October 2nd. (external link)
Please note that it is possible to join the panel without having seen the film.
