Spanner Films is a small London-based documentary company founded by film director Franny Armstrong in 1997. Notable productions include the no-budget epic McLibel (1997/2005) - the story of a postman and a gardener who took on McDonald's and won, with courtroom reconstructions by Ken Loach, and Drowned Out (2002), following an Indian family who decide to stay at home and drown rather than make way for the Narmada Dam.

Director Franny Armstrong is now working on her latest film. Formerly known as Crude, The Age Of Stupid is the new cinema documentary from the Director of McLibel and the Producer of the Oscar-winning One Day In September. This enormously ambitious drama-documentary-animation hybrid stars Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite as an old man living in the devastated world of 2055, watching archive footage from 2007 and asking: why didn't we stop climate change while we had the chance?
