- **Event Description**: ‘Colossal Wreck’ is a feature documentary journeying into the depths of the COP climate conference in Dubai, made by Josh Appignanesi.About this Event‘Colossal Wreck’ is a feature documentary journeying into the depths of the COP climate conference in Dubai. Are these enormous get-togethers all about false promises that hinder change? Or are they the only hope we've got for world-saving unity?With his innocuous selfie-stick, filmmaker Josh Appignanesi moves unnoticed through Dubai's seductive slickness to reveal the talks, meetings and backroom parties behind the strange mixture of global cry for help and political jostling that is a COP.Lost in translation, he comes face to face with the irony of an oil baron hosting this last-chance climate saloon in a techno-utopian leisure city -- that, er, happens to be built in a burning desert. But then the business-as-usual is ruptured by a searing encounter with indigenous voices from the frontline of climate injustice…Watch the trailer hereA FILM BY: Josh Appignanesi / PRODUCED BY: Josh Appignanesi &amp; Devorah Baum / MUSIC BY: Vik Sharma / DISTRIBUTED BY: Dartmouth FilmsSpeaker Bios: Josh Appignanesi is a filmmaker whose work spans fiction, documentary and the space in-between.
