COP 2026: Colossal Wreck + panel discussion with director Josh Appignanesi - BFI IMAX, London Book now
Sun, 15 Nov 2026 at 11:00am

ABOUT THE NIGHT
To recognise one of the largest issues we face on the biggest screen in the UK this special event marks COP 31, the annual UN-backed climate change conference this November.

It is this UN environmental framework, one that is now deeply problematic, that comes under close scrutiny in Josh Appignanesi’s remarkable documentary essay film Colossal Wreck.

Brilliantly written and stunningly shot, evocatively scored by Vik Sharma, Colossal Wreck is a singular, urgent, and honest dispatch from the hypocrisy-fuelled frontline of an increasingly precarious future, a film of “mesmerizing energy… as if Schopenhauer had made Blade Runner” (The TLS).

Introducing Colossal Wreck, and discussing it afterwards with host Gareth Evans, will be the filmmaker Josh Appignanesi, who is joined by Adrienne Buller (editor) and John Merrick (deputy editor) of The BREAK-DOWN, a not-for-profit print magazine, publishing twice yearly, that explores the intersections of capitalism, nature, politics, culture, and the climate and ecological crises.
