Purpose: a wellbeing economies movie night

Join Regen Melbourne for a special screening of the feature-length documentary PURPOSE — a powerful exploration of one of the most urgent questions of our time: what are our economies truly for?

Following the journeys of two visionary changemakers, Katherine Trebeck and Lorenzo Fioramonti, Purpose asks how we can redesign our economic systems to serve people and planet, instead of the other way around. Their efforts have sparked bold experiments in reimagining economic policy, including the global Wellbeing Economy Governments alliance, a movement gaining momentum across the world.

Following the film we’ll have a short conversation about how this lands in Greater Melbourne. How do we feel the opportunities and challenges that Katherine and Lorenzo experience in our own city?

Screening details:
Doors: 6:10pm
Screening: 6:30pm (there are no ads ;))

As Regen Melbourne’s contribution to Global Doughnut Day 2025, this event invites our community to gather, reflect, and activate around the deeper purpose of our economies — and what it might take to bring a Doughnut-shaped future to life here in Melbourne.
