Free Movie Screening: '2040"

Dayboro State School Thursday 15th September, 4-5.30pm

Open to all in the community (primary school children must be accompanied by an adult).

About the movie:

2040 follows director Damon Gameau's imagining of a future for his four-year old daughter Velvet, where climate change has been solved. Described as “an exercise in fact-based dreaming” the film is structured as a letter to his daughter whereby Gameau travels around the world investigating numerous solutions that can contribute towards climate mitigation and imagining what a future would be like where they have been implemented at scale. In choosing what to feature in the film, Gameau restricted it to solutions that are either already available or have a realistic potential to greatly contribute to reversing climate change by the year 2040. The film features interviews with numerous academics, ecological experts and entrepreneurs, yet manages to be entertaining for all ages.
