How to Blow Up a Pipeline | SproutsFF23

How to Blow Up a Pipeline by Daniel Goldhaber

Amsterdam Premiere | 2022 | United States | 104 minutes

closing film // eco – out of competition

This tightly edited, nail biting eco thriller based on the eponymous bestselling book perfectly bridges the divide between awareness raising arthouse and entertaining blockbuster. A quintessential heist movie of our rapidly changing times that rightfully shows the multitude of faces and motives behind a fast-growing global movement of radical climate activism. Cinemas should be flooded with environmental stories like these.

The awards from the film festival will be presented during the concluding ceremony preceding the screening. The film is part of Sprouts Film Festival 2023, which will be held May 10-14.

All selected feature films are competing for the Audience Award, so please do not forget to cast your vote when leaving the screening room. A three-headed jury consisting of industry professionals is in charge of selecting a winner from the films in the Debut Competition, while a three-headed jury of sustainability oriented students will do the same for the Eco Competition and the Eco Shorts Program.
