The description seems more like pushing a vegan perspective. I don't know if that's a good way to get started. Nonetheless, I wish your endeavor the best!

CrayonMaster ,

That's OPs summary, but thumbing through the speakers it looks like it has more of an ethical AI angle if anything

anzo ,

Ah. Indeed! This is about just one workshop in the conf. I misread thay keyword.

Thanks for the recommendation, that looks great! And I found out that my local library has it on DVD, so I'm gonna check it out next time I'm there 😃

I love the low tech cycling subculture at yt - bikepackers, mechanics, tinkerers...

Like Path less pedaled and BikeFarmer.

They show how the bikes should be simple, mechanical machines that are bombproof and easy to repair not some high tech racing monsters.

Primitive Technology, the channel that inspired all those faked terrible "building stuff in the woods" channels, but the original is really good.

Clickspring is currently recreating the antikythera mechanism using period accurate tools and technology, which is low tech if you consider that it was high tech for the ancient greeks.

@Julian_1_2_3_4_5 I would be careful with calling it , the movie has a lot of implicit neoliberal assumptions and puts a lot of technosolutionist proposals, doesn't show a lot of communities.

It's a great introduction to the idea of not giving up though! I personally recommend the movie to people who have had no experience with hopeful climate fiction at all.

The company owning the movie is pretty hard to work with as well, we failed to get educational screenings multiple times :/

realbadat ,

Do you have any recs on good solarpunk movies/documentaries?

@realbadat I usually go with anarchist technology documentaries.

In my big Solarpunk essay ( https://alxd.org/solarpunk-lenses-and-foundations.html ) I mention https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPxCUzGGDKc , which was THE thing to inspire me to look for Solarpunk.

I love the series on the Southeast Asian Makers, https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkMf14VQEvTblDrJNG4kD6BIVW16DKJh-

They're less "comprehensive", but they're very real and very awesome :)

If I remember anything more, I'll let you know!

realbadat ,

Thanks!

I'd recommend checking out our local documentary community, !documentaries, which is chock full of docs! :D

Though admittedly, most of the ones there are not directly related to solarpunk. Since the movement is really only just catching on in the mainstream, there's not much documentary/movie content about it.

The only fictional movie I can think of that's solarpunky would be Strange World from (ironically) Disney.

realbadat ,

Ooh, missed that one - thanks!

I had a similar observation when watching it, particularly around eco-modernism.

As Giorgos Kallis put it,

"eco-modernism — that is, the idea that all environmental and social problems can ultimately be solved with the application of technology, and that the only solution to the problems of modern technology is more modern technology."

Van Oak Props.

It's nice to see the creativity that goes into creating props. I also follow watch a few others that also go over props and haunted house builds.

Low-Tech Magazine shows up on here occasionally, I've enjoyed their articles.

I'd also recommend Kris Harbour Natural Building on YouTube.
