CFF’s Climate Film Club kicked off its new, semi-regular screening series with the thoughtfully comedic and incisively candid film on climate anxiety Everything Wrong and Nowhere to Go (2023, dir. Sindha Agha).
A post-screening discussion highlighted insights and remarks from climate psychologists Wendy Greenspun (Clinical and "Climate" Psychologist who has served on the board and Executive Committee of Climate Psychology Alliance - North America) and Rebecca Weston (LCSW and JD, practicing clinician and Co-President of the Climate Psychology Alliance of North America).
The Climate Film Club programs short climate films and engaging and educational opportunities for discussion at casual venues throughout the city. Whether you’re a climate advocate, a film enthusiast, or just curious, we invite you to join the conversation, meet new people, and share your thoughts on the film.
About the film: Plagued by overwhelming anxiety about climate change, a filmmaker decides to start seeing a climate psychologist in hopes that she can find some peace of mind at what she’s pretty sure is the end of the world. The resulting documentary is an intimate, strikingly candid self-portrait of the intersection between climate change and mental health, an emotional journey which weaves in and out of fear, helplessness, guilt, anger, and ultimately healing.
