A number of artists have been particularly vocal over the ongoing climate change summit in Paris, and two British based artists have now also echoed these concerns. Trip-hop giants Massive Attack and Mercury Prize winners Young Fathers have teamed up to score a soundtrack for La Fête est Finie a film that aims to highlight complacency towards the issue.

 

The film stars Natasha O’Keefee, who featured in BBC’s drama series Peaky Blinders. The film’s director Mark Donne released a statement explaining his vision: “There must be a legally binding deal on emissions reductions… This film is a cultural contribution to the global public atmosphere that now demands that these imperatives are achieved by our governments”.
