Coalition Of The Willing from coalitionfilm on Vimeo.
‘Coalition of the Willing’ is a short animated film about an open source approach to the war on global warming. Written by Tim Rayner and directed and produced by award-winning British film maker Simon Robson, it was made by an international network of artists totaling 77 people. Coalition explores how we could use the internet to leverage activists, experts, and ordinary people in collaborative projects to fight climate change. Mixing swarm activity with social revolution, it makes the case for a new generation of online activism to tackle the great challenges of our time.
‘Coalition of the Willing’ won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2010 Hampton International Film Festival. It also won Best Short Film at the 2012 San Francisco Green Film Festival, and the Waverley Award for Best Environmental Short Film at 2011 FlickerFest Sydney.
