Massive Attack’s 3D and Young Fathers score satirical climate change film

Massive Attack’s 3D and Scottish hip-hop duo Young Fathers have joined forces to score a new short satirical film on climate change. La Fête est Finie (‘The Party Is Over’) is out now, timed to coincide with the COP21 summit in Paris. Forest Swords was also involved as a producer.

“The consequences of failure are absolutely catastrophic, but that didn’t prevent the previous twenty Conferences of Parties doing precisely that,” said 3D and director John Donne in a statement. “As with any party, the skill is in knowing when to leave. For decades fossil fuel extracting trans-nationals and Western governments have continued to dance and partake long after the bright lights of climate science evidence were switched on and the deafening music of denial had its plug pulled.”

“There must be a legally binding deal on emissions reductions. The poorer nations on earth must receive the support they desperately need from the rich, so they can prepare for the damage caused by climate change and invest in clean technologies to cut greenhouse gas emissions. This film is a cultural contribution to the global public atmosphere that now demands that these imperatives are achieved by our governments.”
