A powerful *cli-fi* novel by J.M. Ledgard published in 2013, which was positively reviewed here in the New York Mag by Kathryn Schulz is now a cli-fi movie starring big star Alicia Vikander, directed by master director from Germany Wim Wenders.
"With its passages on overfishing, acidification, and climate change, Submergence is partly highbrow ***cli-fi,*** that emerging genre of ecological dystopia." -- NY MAG in 2013
So 4 years later, Wenders will open the 65th San Sebasti...an Film Festival in SPAIN with ''Submergence. ''Wenders and Vikander will travel to Spain to present the film on Sept. 22.

Submergence also stars James McAvoy. Shot across Berlin, Madrid, Toledo and multiple locations in France and Djibouti, the screenplay is by Erin Dignam, and based on the cli-fi novel by J.M. Ledgard.
McAvoy and Vikander play a hydraulic engineer, James More, and a bio-mathematician, Danielle Flinders, who fall in love in a remote hotel in Normandy. After they depart for dangerous missions, it is revealed that More works for the British Secret Service and is taken hostage in Somalia.

Submergence, Ledgard’s second novel, came out in England in 2011. But it didn’t appear here until March, when it was published, to inexplicably minimal fanfare, by the small but excellent Coffee House Press. This is why writers have day jobs, and, since 1995, Ledgard has worked for The Economist, where he currently covers war and politics as the East Africa correspondent.
