Be a part of the national launch of “Imagine” — only on 26 January.

NATIONAL LAUNCH of “IMAGINE”
A co-created film by over 400 people guided by indigenous Australian systems changers Jack Manning Bancroft and Tyson Yunkaporta.

Starring all-star voice cast including Taika Waititi, Yael Stone, Wayne Blair, Yolande Brown, Ian Thorpe and Tai Hara.

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.

“Imagine is the antidote to starting the year with arguments, pain and division. This film is a love letter to humankind — to reach for our potential to design systems where nature is included, to find a vision for this nation that includes all nations, all living creatures. It’s a chance for us to take on this obstacle and, with our collective cooperation, imagine what’s possible and make it real,” says Jack Manning Bancroft.

After its world premiere at MIFF, Imagine screened for the community at NSW Parliament House in Sydney and the Brisbane International Film Festival, and has been recognised at several international events, including Official Selection at the Native Spirit Film Festival in Cambridge, screening at the Garifuna International Indigenous Film Festival in California, the Berlin Indie Film Festival, the Digiart Fest in Uganda and COP30 in Belém, Brazil. The film also is set to be screened at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

All profits from the film will go back to AIME’s work to alleviate inequality across Australia and around the world.
