‘2040’ Will Be Completely Free For Students To Watch In Cinemas This Weekend!

School-aged students will have the chance to watch Australia’s new critically acclaimed documentary 2040 in select cinemas across the country this weekend!

2040 comes from director Damon Gameau who takes us on an “aspiration journey” to discover what our future could look like if we embraced the best practices to support and save our planet.

“Directed by and starring Gameau (That Sugar Film), 2040 is a positive and empowering 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.”

It's also already been met with a heap of success! 

“Supported by Screen Australia, who are also a key funding partner of the film, the initiative coincides with the global advent of student-led climate change action and the fact that the film has resonated strongly with youth audiences at national Q&A preview screenings hosted by director Damon Gameau and other experts.

“2040 had the fourth highest cinema opening weekend of all time for an Australian documentary and is on track to soon enter the top ten highest grossing Australian feature documentaries ever at the local cinema box office after its first week in national release. The opening week figure of $281,231 takes its box office total to $404,968. The film continues on 93 screens this week and will add another 21 in week three." 

Please just watch this trailer and feel chills:

Obviously, the destruction of the environment is a major issue which critically impacts everyone on this planet, but for young people specifically, the Earth’s future is more valued than ever.

This is why, after the success of the movie’s opening weekend, many select cinemas across the country will be wiping the ticket fee for school-aged students this weekend!
