What would Australia look like by 2030 if we simply listened to the needs of its people?
The Environment Institute, alongside Ecoversity, presents 'Regenerating Australia'. The short film will be followed by a live discussion with the film's award winning director Damon Gameau and Professor Andy Lowe, Director of the Environment Institute.
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. A story of solutions. A story of regeneration.
The fictional film is 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.
