About

Regenerating Australia is a film and accompanying impact campaign seeking to accelerate the transition to a regenerative future.

Synopsis

Regenerating Australia is a 17-minute short film based on a four-month interview process with a diverse group of Australians who shared their hopes and dreams for the country's future.

Set on New Year's Eve of December 2029, a news anchor is ending the nightly bulletin with a look back at the decade 'that could be’; a decade that saw Australia transition to a fairer, cleaner, more community focused economy. The film is a construction of news reports and press conferences featuring high profile journalists, politicians, business leaders and citizens such as Kerry O'Brien, Sandra Sully, Gorgi Coghlan, Patrick Abboud, Larissa Behrendt and David Pocock.

Regenerating Australia launched in March 2022 with a national tour of ‘special event’ cinema screenings across Australia. You can now see the film in so many ways.

This is a new story for our nation: a story of empowerment. A story of solutions. A story of regeneration.

Impact campaign

More than just a film, Regenerating Australia is the entry point to a multi-platform impact campaign seeking to accelerate the transition to a regenerative economy that values Australia’s greatest assets - First Nations' wisdom, our unique natural environment and our sense of community.

Distributed film screenings, support workshops and bootcamps will connect and support communities and innovators who are inspired by the film to begin or grow their own regenerative solution.

Innovate to Regenerate

WWF-Australia’s ‘Innovate to Regenerate’ challenge is inviting local communities and experts to establish regenerative projects and bring to life a solution that they see in the film.

This exciting program is providing $2 million in seed funding and WWF-Australia will collaborate with investors and donors to help the best ideas get off the ground. The selected projects will have access to subject matter experts, the $2 million ‘solutions fund’ and impact investors looking to scale up projects that deliver social, environmental and economic benefits to communities around Australia.

Together we will support Australians to discover creative solutions to our current crisis from the ground up by promoting the regeneration of the entire country.
