Literally a film like no other, IMAGINE is a ground-breaking, co-created animated film blending Indigenous knowledge with cutting-edge technology.

IMAGINE invites us on a transformative journey across surreal landscapes, exploring big questions about humanity, our planet, and our collective potential.

It follows Kim, a 15-year-old non-binary kid drowning in the noise of the attention economy. Guided by Jeff, a sarcastic alien dog, and the steady voices of Aboriginal Elders, Kim is forced to face the big questions that we’ve all been dodging: What are we doing to the planet? Who are we listening to? What kind of ancestors do we want to be?

This is an invitation to IMAGINE a different reality: one where we don't start each year with division. A reality where we all unite - Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples - for a fairer world.

Our friends at AIME, an Indigenous-led systems change organisation, offered this opportunity to be a part of IMAGINE’s nationwide cinema launch on 26 January, and we said yes! Green Mountain Community School had supported the making of the film in a small way and is strongly aligned with its process and purpose.

Bring your cushions, we'll make the popcorn, and gather for an afternoon of imagining together.

IMAGINE is rated PG.

Led by Indigenous Australian storytellers Jack Manning Bancroft and Tyson Yunkaporta, IMAGINE was created during the pandemic through a live Google Doc, and IMAGI-NATION {TV}, with more than 400 young people, schools and guests from 17 countries. No film project has come out of Australia like this before.

“This film is a love letter to human kind. It’s a plea 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, the 8 billion+ on this rock.
It’s a chance for us to take this obstacle of where we are stuck, and with our collective cooperation to imagine what’s possible and make it real.”
