Hmm: Climate junk scientists launch a climate hoax film competition with thousands of dollars in cash prizes

About | Green Screen: Climate Fix Flicks

The Green Screen: Climate Fix Flicks competition is a new initiative being launched by Climate Scientists from Macquarie University, The University of Melbourne and Monash Sustainability Institute. Our goal is to raise awareness of the opportunities and positive effects of moving the world towards a low carbon future. This film festival will promote positive change and bring disenfranchised voters back to the table as we discuss the best options for fixing Australia's and indeed the world’s climate future.

From the press release:

Fifteen films will be shortlisted and screened at a public event in Sydney at the time of the Australian Film Festival in March 2012. Entries will be judged by a panel of well-known artists, film-makers and scientists including Kimble Rendall (Matrix and I, Robot) and Professor Tim Flannery (Chair, Climate Change Commission and author of ‘Here on Earth’ and ‘The Weathermakers’). The winning entry in the competition will receive $5000 and up to five films will be awarded ‘highly commended’ prizes of $500 each. Following the public screening, selected shortlisted films will go into the running for a people’s choice award worth $2500.
