'IMAGINE', an Indigenous-led Australian animated feature film, and the first film in the world to give its IP and profits back to nature.
A story born from crisis, made for this moment 'IMAGINE' is an 80-minute animated odyssey co-created by over 400 people during the 2020 pandemic; Indigenous youth, kids from remote communities around the world, elders carrying 65,000+ years of knowledge, former Prime Ministers, tech pioneers, teachers, artists and outlaws.
Kim, a 15-year-old non-binary kid drowning in the noise of the attention economy. Their life is push notifications, endless scrolling, and a nagging sense that something is deeply off. Then, one night, a clawed creature rips open the bedroom wall and drags Kim into a wild 24-hour journey across five surreal islands, a sentient library, an ideological battlefield, an ocean of memory and more.
Guided by Jeff, a sarcastic alien dog, and the steady voices of Aboriginal Elders, Kim is forced to face the big questions 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?
Directed by First Nations luminaries Tyson Yunkaporta (Apalech clan) and Jack Manning Bancroft (Bundjalung), produced by Mark Grentell of Vizion Studios, with animation by Vizion Studios turning this crowd-sourced script into a visual journey that moves between intimate, hand-crafted moments and big, world-bending set piece.
