Oil has been an invisible machine at the core of our economy and society. It now faces an uncertain future as activists and investors demand change. Is this the end of oil?

The Oil Machine brings together a wide range of voices from oil company executives, economists, young activists, workers, scientists, and pension fund managers - highlighting the complexities of how oil is embedded in our society from high finance to cheap consumer goods.

The Oil Machine explores the complexities of transitioning away from oil and gas as a society - considering how this machine can be tamed, dismantled, or repurposed...and how quickly we can do it.

This screening will be followed by an in-person Q&A with the film’s director Emma Davie and then a walk along Crossapol beach, weather permitting.

Dir. Emma Davie, UK, 2023 (82min)
