On Saturday, the 6th of July, when the night falls, but it is still young and attractive, grab your bike and come to KINO. The open-air art cinema is located under the fruit trees at ‘t Gras v/d Buren (opposite Nest) as part of The Hague Contemporary Art Weekend. Between 22.00 and 01.00 we will show films that reflect on nature, climate and that which is not human, but still has to do with human events.

This year there were two major climate marches in The Hague. Although climate sceptics are still heard both in society and in politics, the focus is on the irreversible dangers of the warming climate for all life on earth. Scientists warn against so-called tipping points, when so many greenhouse gases are released into the air that global warming will accelerate and there will be no way back to a liveable world. And yet politics are moving slowly, driving a car is cheaper than the train, eating meat is still the norm and going on holiday by plane is the rule rather than the exception. It is mainly young people who sound the alarm and organise protest marches to persuade the government to intervene. But even in spite of these demonstrations, the urgency of the problem is not really getting through.
