Is this our last chance? SALT’s screening program calls attention to climate change, its impact on humans and the world; the 2021 selection brings together ten documentary films from South Africa, Norway, France, Canada, Bolivia, and the Balkans. This year’s seventh edition, supported by Garanti BBVA, begins with One Table Two Elephants (2019) on April 26 and can be streamed with Turkish subtitles at saltonline.org for a week.
Our planet is getting warmer, oceans are becoming acidic, and sea levels rising; as ecosystems are being damaged by climate change, biodiversity is declining faster than ever before. The ongoing climate crisis and the efforts to find solutions now reach wider audiences through the news as well as documentary films. This year’s films seek answers as to how humans, animals, nature, and urban life can coexist in harmony. While a group of teenagers undertake the task of protecting their city’s ecological heritage via dance and music, elsewhere a community holding onto its roots hopes to build a better future. The climate struggle of a small island nation in the Pacific could happen in another part of the world. Regardless of individual, societal, or institutional responsibilities, the realization that the choices we make today determine our tomorrow is gradually increasing.
Is this our last chance? confronts climate change; focusing on urgent issues. The films that research possible solutions for our future and raise public awareness will be free to watch and accessible from all over Turkey. Following the screenings, a series of talks coinciding with the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) that is planned take place in Glasgow, Scotland, in November, will bring together researchers, scientists, and educators to encourage dialogue and discussion about the climate and ecological crisis.
Programmed by Fatma Çolakoğlu from SALT, Is this our last chance? films will be streamed at saltonline.org, between April 26 and July 4. Each film will stream online for a week, in its original language with Turkish and English subtitles.
In September 2015, SALT announced that it does not accept support from oil, coal, or gas corporate entities.
