Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Critical interrogative filmmaking and call-to-climate-action in the face of maddening government inertia: The Oil Machine shines a light on the UK’s “invisible lifeblood”, its grim rise to ubiquity - and how the machine can be broken once and for all. Followed by discussion with the Stop Rosebank campaign."

A event held at The Cube on Wednesday 13th December. The event starts at 19:00.
How can we break our addition to oil? Join us for a screening of the 2022 film The Oil Machine for an inspiring screening and conversation on our energy future.
The Oil Machine explores our economic, historical and emotional entanglement with fossil fuels by looking at the conflicting imperatives around North Sea oil & gas. This invisible machine at the core of our economy and society now faces an uncertain future as activists and investors demand change. Is this the end of oil?
The film brings together a wide range of voices from oil company executives, economists, young activists, oil workers, pension fund managers, and considers how this machine can be tamed, dismantled or repurposed. (Running time: 82 minutes)
This will be followed by a short panel discussion, hosted by the Stop Rosebank campaign, a movement in response to the licensing of the North Sea's largest undeveloped oil field.
Entry requirements: no age restrictions
