Global Storytelling with an Aboriginal Heart: Imagine

Tamzyn and Clayton talk about the Australian Film Imagine, which made it’s debut at the Melbourne International Film Festival. The film is having a limited screening on Monday, the 26th of January. You can check the website later for future screenings.

About the Film

Australian writers, directors and systems change-makers Jack Manning Bancroft and Tyson Yunkaporta’s pioneering new animated feature film Imagine heads into cinemas nationwide for very special event screenings on January 26, to get Australia to imagine a different reality to start the year with. Instead of ‘Australia / Survival Day’ being a day of division, can we imagine a way to bring folks together and meet in the middle?

A film like no other, Imagine is a ground-breaking, co-created animated film blending Indigenous knowledge with innovative storytelling and technology. Following 15-year-old Kim and their alien canine companion Jeff, the story explores identity, freedom and a world on the brink of collapse.

Created during the pandemic through a live Google Doc, Imagine began in a true sense of collaboration on IMAGI-NATION {TV}, with over 150 young people, 18 partner schools and more than 200 guests from across 17 countries contributing to the script via the live audience.
