Documentary Film Screening – 2040

  • - (AEST)
  • Waverley Library
    32-48 Denison Street, Bondi Junction, NSW 2022, Australia

Join us for a special screening by Award-winning director Damon Gameau, who embarks on a journey to explore what the future could look like by the year 2040 if we simply embraced the best solutions already available to us to improve our planet and shifted them rapidly into the mainstream.

Aimed at a broad audience that includes children and their parents, serious information is delivered with irreverence and humour. Experts are shrunk into scenes to emphasise a point, animation makes the invisible visible and visual effects show how scaling these solutions by 2040 will positively impact our lives and our planet. This rich visual approach combined with the structure of an intimate letter to a daughter from her father allows for lightness and cheekiness, ensuring the film is both entertaining and educational, with the end goal being to inspire action and change.

This screening is 8 years after the film's initial release date and we’re hoping to have a discussion at the end about what has changed since then, and what we need to do in the next 14 years to see the positive impact our lives and our planet.

This Inspiring Australia NSW initiative is supported by the Australian Government as part of National Science Week.

The event is free to attend, but booking tickets is essential.
