「臨界」是一種瀕臨極限、從已知到未知的狀態，如同走在鋼索上，隨時可能邁向失控與崩毀，再跨一步，不可逆的連鎖效應將隨之而來。

氣候的臨界狀態，也是生態的、經濟的、人類文明的臨界狀態。全球升溫的衝擊，正超越世代、跨越國境，穿透一切人為疆域、地景界線，鋪天蓋地帶來前所未見的改變。

全亞洲第一個以「核」為題的影展「核電影」，在舉辦四屆、邁入第十周年後，轉型成為規模最大的氣候變遷主題影展「氣候臨界影展」（Climate Tipping Point Film Festival），除了保留原有的核能主題外，更擴大到氣候行動、能源爭議、暖化危機等題材，共集結五大單元、十多部來自義大利、法國、瑞士、台灣、坦尚尼亞、柬埔寨、波多黎各、英國、美國和澳洲等國的電影，記錄了在這全球危機進行式之中，不同地域、族群、世代、文化背景與階級的人們，在各自的傷痛、掙扎與與抵抗之中，如何展現對生命、土地、家園的盼望。

A tipping point is a climate science term, indicating a critical threshold. Once crossed, it will inevitably lead to catastrophic and irreversible climate breakdown with the entire system changing from a more stable state to an utterly unpredictable state.

After the planet crosses the critical warming threshold, this will then accelerate the breakdown of ecology, world economy and human civilization, with a socioeconomic system hurtling towards unprecedented catastrophe in human history. Just as the coronavirus knows no borders, the impacts of an increasing warning planet recognize no national borders. They further threaten generations to come.

The biannual Nuclear Film Festival is the first of its kind in Asia. After organizing it for four consecutive events, the festival entered its tenth year in 2023. In response to climate change, which has been triggering both natural disasters and social calamity, Green Citizens’ Action Alliance has decided to rename the festivity Climate Tipping Point Film Festival.

We aim to raise climate awareness, bring to the fore the social causes of catastrophes and then draw the lessons of the sustained social crimes perpetrated by states and multinational corporations that have caused existing conditions.

In addition to retaining the standard theme of anti-nuclear movements along with everything radioactive, the re-branded film festival will cover issues ranging from climate action, the fallacies of profit drives, the immense power of big oil to climate chaos, and more.

From March 11 to March 19 2023, we are going to bring together a total of 15 documentaries from four continents, including countries such as Italy, France, Spain, Britain, Switzerland, South Africa, Cambodia, China, Taiwan, Australia, Puerto Rico along with the United States. These films either feature the way corporations subordinate climate system, ecosystem and the well-being of the masses to the interests of the corporate elite amid an ever deepening political, social crisis or to highlight the life-and-death social and environmental struggles raging across the world as people try to reverse worsening living conditions exacerbated by climate change.

Date: 3/10－3/19
