World Environment Day – Regenerating Australia ONLINE film screening
June 4, 2022 @ 3:00 pm - June 5, 2022 @ 3:00 pm
For those of you who can’t make it to our in-person film screening at Marrickville Library Pavilion on Friday 17 June we’re offering a chance to watch the film Regenerating Australia at home online.
When: The film will be available to watch online between 3pm on Saturday 4 June and 3pm on Sunday 5 June (when the link will expire).
Regenerating Australia is the latest film from Damon Gameau. The film asks the question: What would Australia look like by 2030 if we simply listened to the needs of its people?
Regenerating Australia is a 17-minute short film based on a four-month interview process with a diverse group of Australians who shared their hopes and dreams for the country’s future. It is a new story for our nation: a story of empowerment, solutions and regeneration.
Set on New Year’s Eve of December 2029, a news anchor is ending the nightly bulletin with a look back at the decade ‘that could be’. A decade that saw Australia transition to a fairer, cleaner, more community focused economy. The film is a construction of hypothetical news reports and press conferences featuring real journalists, politicians, business leaders and citizens – featuring Kerry O’Brien, Sandra Sully, Tim Flannery, Larissa Behrendt, David Pocock and other well-known voices.
Please note: This film contains imagery and themes that may be confronting for some viewers (eg. fires and floods).
By participating in this event we ask viewers to answer a set of questions to tell us what your experience was watching the film and if you have ideas for action in the local community.
Bookings: Bookings are essential as we will send you the link to view the film on Saturday afternoon at 3pm.
