Today Dean Puckett’s new film “The Crisis of Civilization”<\/strong> had its world premier at the Dom im Berg in Graz, Austria. The screening was part of Elevate Festival 2011 which lasts from October 20-26.<\/p>\n

The film is based on a five hour interview with international security analyst\u00a0Dr. Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed, who wrote the book “A User’s Guide to the Crisis of Civilization: And How to Save It”. Additionally, the film includes animations by Lucca Benney and open source footage of films produced between the 1930ies and 70ies.<\/p>\n

The location was totally packed today, Daniel Erlacher, who organizes the festival alongside with many other people, said, never before had so many people seen a movie at Elevate. One statement I remember from the discussion that followed the screening was “We are the problem.” True that.<\/p>\n

So, whatever you think about global warming, militarization, the energy peak, the food peak, the economic crisis and all these crises we are facing these days … Watch this movie. It provides you with a new perspective on all these issues. It makes you aware that all these crises are related and that they correspond.<\/p>\n
