PRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ACT GREENS

Embark on an inspiring and vital journey in the compelling new documentary from Australian filmmaker and environmentalist Damon Gameau (2040, That Sugar Film). Known for his insightful approach to timely themes, Gameau’s latest takes eight bright young minds on an extraordinary road trip across Europe in a school bus powered by vegetable oil. Their mission: to seek out innovative and actionable solutions to the escalating climate crisis by engaging with CEOs of multinational corporations.

The young innovators courageously voice their eco-anxieties and offer profound insights, challenging the adults to listen and act and showcasing the powerful potential of youth in driving global change. Future Council is not just a film; it’s a call to action, fostering global dialogue and encouraging audiences of all ages to consider how they can contribute to a more sustainable world for generations to come.

A cinematic landmark that defined a generation, Rebel Without a Cause cemented James Dean’s legendary status as the embodiment of youthful angst and disillusionment. 70 years on, the iconic coming-of-age melodrama endures as a powerful social commentary on identity, rebellion, and the timeless search for meaning in a complex world.

In his career-defining role, Dean plays Jim Stark, a troubled teenager new to Los Angeles who struggles to find belonging amidst dysfunctional family dynamics and brushes with the law. His attempts to connect with others – including fellow delinquents Judy (Natalie Wood) and Plato (Sal Mineo) – seem to always lead to inevitable confrontations. Can Jim even break out of this cycle of conflict and alienation?

Released only a month after Dean’s shocking death in a car crash at the age of 24, the film captures the raw emotion of a post-war generation yearning for understanding. Tragically, Wood and Mineo also met untimely deaths, adding to the film's mythic aura as a snapshot frozen in time.
