Film
2040 (PG)
Dir. Damon Gameau, Australia, 2019, 92 mins.
Award-winning director Damon Gameau (That Sugar Film) 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. Structured as a visual letter to his 4-year-old daughter, Damon blends traditional documentary with dramatised sequences and high-end visual effects to create a vision board of how these solutions could regenerate the world for future generations.
Friday 31 January, 8.30pm: We are pleased to welcome Dean Bowles, Pat Bushell and Tess Wilmot of Extinction Rebellion and Transition Plymouth to give a brief introduction to the film and host a Q&A afterwards
"I have been a permaculture designer since 1996. Much of my work is around creating edible landscapes and positive solutions to the challenges we face. I love working with communities and helping them to use their creativity and talents to design solutions that are right for them and the environment." - Tess Wilmott
"I became aware of the seriousness of Climate Change (then called The Greenhouse effect) in 1988 and haven’t stopped talking about it since. I got involved with Transition Plymouth when it started in 2009, and Extinction Rebellion Plymouth since the begining in October 2018. I think the best outcome for the planet will only be achieved if enough ordinary people make a big enough fuss about it." - Pat Bushell
