What the **** happens during UN climate summits?
Who makes the decisions? Whose voices are excluded?
What’s at stake during COP26?
What the COP? is an exciting film initiative to help groups across Scotland explore climate issues in the lead-up to the UN Climate Conference being hosted in Glasgow in November. Throughout September and October, we’ll be supporting community groups of all shapes and sizes across Scotland to host screenings; explore key climate justice issues and find collective routes to action in November – and beyond.
We’re providing groups with:
- access to screening licenses (and the films, of course!) for up to 4 specially-chosen documentaries (pay-what-you-can, based on the scale of your group/organisation);
- a helpful guide on how to plan and organise a film screening + conversation;
- marketing materials to help you promote your events;
- a bespoke learning resource & discussion guide for each film.
Registration has now closed. Check out the full list of participating groups / organisations in this blog post, or browse the map below!

This initiative is supported by Film Hub Scotland, part of the BFI’s Film Audience Network, and funded by Screen Scotland and National Lottery funding from the BFI
