In support of Earth Day 2025

In November 2024, DFC screened Soylent Green which at its end provided little hope for the future of the planet. 2040 reverses the outcomes and imagines a better future.

2040 is hybrid feature documentary by award-winning Australian director Damon Gameau, who created this documentary in 2019 to show what life could be like for his four-year-old daughter in 20 years’ time. The film offers brief but very clear depictions of the precariousness of our current carbon overload and its consequences. But it also offers practical solutions to environmental concerns, in the hope of finding ways to leave a better world for the next generation.

The evening will start at 6:45pm with our speaker, George Cooper, a local environmentalist with a wealth of wildlife knowledge, who heads up the ‘Save Minster Marshes’ campaign. George’s talk will be followed by a Q&A session.

2040 will be screened at 7:20pm,

Venue: Cleary Room, The Landmark Centre, Deal.

Doors: 6:20pm. Talk: 6.45pm. Film 7.20pm

There will be an interval between the Q&A session and the screening, with a cash bar and refreshments.
