Damon Gameau’s film Future Council will screen at the Palace Byron Bay Cinema on October 22 at 7pm and the Lennox Head Cultural Centre at 3pm on October 26 as part of the Byron Bay International Film Festival (BBFF).
Gameau (That Sugar Film, 2040, Regenerating Australia) took eight children on a biofuel-powered bus journey across Europe to explore environmental solutions. Their mission is to bring the climate conversation from street protests to corporate boardrooms, inspiring a new generation to influence the world’s most powerful companies.
‘We took the film to the UN General Assembly and did a screening – the children were involved in the opening and they got to go into the general assembly hall and the security council,’ Gameau told The Echo.
‘They are inviting other children to join them to determine how they shape their own future,’ Gameau told The Echo.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
