Filmmaker Damon Gameau will visit Victor Harbor next week as part of a national Q&A tour featuring his short documentary film Regenerating Australia.

The special event screening, at Victa Cinema on Thursday 14 April, is one of only three South Australian stops on the tour and the only one in a regional cinema.

The award-winning director of 2040 and That Sugar Film has based his latest film on a four-month ‘listening campaign’ with a diverse group of Australians who shared their hopes and dreams for the country’s future.

It features Kerry O’Brien, Sandra Sully, Tim Flannery, Larissa Behrendt, David Pocock and other well-known voices.

He has described it as a new story for our nation: “a story of empowerment. A story of solutions. A story of regeneration.”

“Regenerating Australia is a hypothetical news report based on interviews with a diverse group of Australians who were asked about their hopes and dreams for the future.

“The screening offers a chance to connect with others face to face and feel some much needed hope and inspiration as we discuss the steps we could take together to regenerate Australia over the next eight years.”

Tickets cost $20, free for under 18s, and are available via Humanitix.
