My Paper Boat
Glad to know that ‘My Paper Boat’ is sailing successfully to some thinking minds propagating the message of global warming, climate change, drought & displacement.
Through this film we are trying to present the nearing state of displacement one might have to face in future because of climate change, shown in the perspective a little boy who lost his play-space.
My Paper Boat at Copenhagen
Screening of the film was done on a giant CO2 CUBE. It was screened daily throughout the 2 weeks of Copenhagen Climate Change Conference by UNO at Denmark. The 8.2m x 8.2m x 8.2m cube sat on the lake in the centre of Copenhagen showcasing a powerful visual representation of the size of a ton of carbon.
