Climate Future Film Festival - Chapter 1
Encircle Films, in partnership with 350EUG, presents “Climate Future Film Festival”. Award-winning drama, documentary, comedy, and animation address our many possible climate futures. The “Climate Future Film Festival” films from four continents give expression to what we’re feeling – hope and cynicism, climate denial and climate grief, rage and heartbreak, resilience and resolve. Author and co-founder of 350.org and Third Act, Bill McKibben anchors the Festival in a videotaped introduction to Chapter 1.
The Climate Future Film Festival was presided over by Edward Norton, Honorary Judge & Awards Judge, and Bill McKibben, Honorary Judge.
Hope and panic, greed and courage, fear and comedy: ten films in two hours touch on the myriad responses to an existential crisis.
“These movies hit us viscerally, powerfully . . . ” — Bill McKibben

May Film Showing – Suck It Up, Buttercup
Suck It Up, Buttercup
May 21, 2026 & June 2, 2026 6:30PM
Suck It Up, Buttercup
“Suck It Up, Buttercup” is an investigative and deeply human documentary that brings together physicans, nurses, patients, families and frontline leaders to reveal what is really happening inside America’s healthcare system. Through candid interviews and raw on-the-ground stories, the film exposes the failures putting all of us at risk and highlights the system and people who are proving that better is possible.
A healthcare system in crisis. A story America can’t ignore.The U.S. healthcare system is unraveling, burdened by corporate greed, overwhelming bureaucracy, and a work environment that is driving clinicians to exhaustion and patients to harm.
Purpose over profit. Humanity over systems. This crisis impacts everyone: clinicians, care teams, patients and the families who trust the system to protect them. The film lifts the veil on a dangerous dysfunction that has remained hidden for far too long, from unsafe staffing to financial pressures to the moral injury felt by those trying to provide care in a broken system.
Together, we can break the silence and save lives. This documentary is more than a film. It is a movement calling for transparency, accountability, and a future where healthcare works for the people it was built to serve.
