Described by its director Brett Story as “a film about climate change disguised as a portrait of collective anxiety,” The Hottest August roves through NYC during August of 2017, gathering dozens of man-on-the-street style interviews.
Brett Story collects an aggregate portrait of how everyday citizens are making sense of and coping with an ominous future. After the screening, Josephine Ferorelli of Conceivable Future, a project that invites participants to think about how climate change affects their perspectives on parenthood, engages Story in a conversation about the making of the movie. Patrons are invited to add their own testimony before and after the screening in the Conceivable Future videobooth.
