Hvorfor er vi så besatt av behovet for økonomisk vekst?
Vekst er målestokken for alle samfunn og forteller om de er vellykkede eller ikke, men må vi ha vekst for å skape utvikling og gode samfunn? Og hva skjer med kapitalismen hvis vi ikke har vekst?

SYSTEM ERROR (2018)
A film by Florian Opitz
Why are we so obsessed with economic growth, despite knowing that perpetual growth will kill us in the end? SYSTEM ERROR looks for answers to this principal contradiction of our time and considers global capitalism from the perspective of those who run it. In this manner, the film not only makes the absurdity of our growth-centered system uncomfortably perceptible, but also strikingly questions the seemingly irrefutable rules of the game within a bigger context.
This is the first time SYSTEM ERROR is screened in Norway.
The film screening is a part of the conference Rethinking Sustainability and in collaboration with Oslo Dokumentarkino (The Oslo Documentary Cinema).

100 kr,- // 60,- kr for students or together with a conference registration.
