Join us for a special screening of IMAGINE- a ground breaking co-created animated film blending indigenous knowledge with cutting edge technology.
Transported to a vibrant, ever-changing universe, a team embarks on a fantasitical journy to uncover the secrests of their past and find their rite relationship to a world more interconnected than they ever imagined...A global story that reawakens imagination - showing young people how to turn nothing into somthing and inspiring a generation to author their own stories and reshape the world. Like many teens, 15-year-old Kim is overwhelmed by digital noise, constantly called back to bouts of scrolling by the pings of their phone – until a claw rips through their bedroom and drags them off to a kaleidoscopic otherworld. There, a sardonic alien dog called Jeff sets Kim on a cryptic quest for freedom: to travel to five islands over the course of 24 hours. Guided by Aboriginal Elders and crossing surreal, symbolic realms – a sentient library, a battlefield of ideologies and an ocean of memories – Kim confronts their fears and addictions. From rune-wielding Viking chefs to fascist pirates and a cyborg shaman, each encounter unveils deeper truths about nature, time and spirit.Led by Bancroft, founder of AIME (which runs the digital network IMAGI-NATION) and Yunkaporta, an acclaimed writer and Senior Lecturer in Indigenous Knowledges at Deakin University, the project started with a blank page, and the title “IMAGINE the Feature Film” with the goal to ‘awaken the power of imagination as a force for change.’https://imaginefilm.org/DIRECTORTyson Yunkaporta, Jack Manning BancroftWRITERTyson Yunkaporta, Jack Manning BancroftPRODUCERLeia Alex, Mark Grentell, Anne Robinson, Jack Manning BancroftComposerKane AlmanciEDITORMatthew BarkerCASTWaangenga Blanco, Radical Son, Wayne Blair, Yael Stone, Stephani Beck, Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen, Jake Speer, Yolande Brown, Dane Simpson, Irmin Durand, Tai Hara, Tyson Yunkaporta
