“Let’s change! The climate is changing. Let’s talk about it” is a project promoted by the Department of Engineering and Architecture of the University of Trieste, funded under the University’s Public and Social Engagement Projects – Third Mission. The initiative, running between 2025 and 2026, aims to create opportunities for listening, sharing information, and fostering dialogue with citizens on the impacts of climate change and on strategies to address them collectively. Planned activities include public talks, film screenings, and workshops to engage the local community with accessible language and a multidisciplinary approach.

The fifth event is the screening of the film Snowpiercer, scheduled for October 21, 2025, at 9:00 PM at Cinema Ariston in Trieste. The evening will be introduced by Elena Marchigiani (DIA) and Daniela Terzoli (Cappella Underground).

The Film in Brief
2031. In a world decimated by a new ice age caused by failed experiments to stop global warming, a group of survivors remains alive aboard a train, the “Snowpiercer,” which endlessly travels around the Earth, powered by an apparent perpetual-motion engine. The train is a microcosm of human society, divided into social classes: the poorest live in the tail cars, surviving on “protein bars,” while the wealthiest occupy the front cars. Coexistence inevitably leads to struggles and revolutions.

Directed by Bong Joon-ho, starring Chris Evans, Song Kang-ho, Ed Harris, John Hurt, Tilda Swinton, Jamie Bell. South Korea, USA, France, 2013.
