Back from London where we had the theatrical premiere of Petropolis at the Institute of Contemporary Arts.  The screenings were timed in advance of a series of ‘big oil’ annual general meetings this week, including Shell and Statoil.

On Monday, Dogwoof and The Co-operative Group hosted a private screening that included a panel discussion with Greenpeace campaigner Charlie Kronick and I.  Packed house and great response.

Equally exciting, we got some more great reviews, including the Times of London.  Some highlights: “. . . a movie miracle  . . its nearest cinematic relative is the title sequence from The Shining. . . The high-definition depiction of open-pit mining is a rape analogy writ large. . .This, ultimately, is the film-making of ideas.”

All in all, a great trip!  Big thanks to Oli, Yung, Chris and Claire, among others.  If you happen to live in London, there’s still time to see it on the big screen.  Check out ICA’s web site.
