EXCLUSIVE: Together Films has signed key deals on Damon Gameau’s environmental documentary Future Council.
The film has secured theatrical distribution in France (L’Atelier d’Images), Italy (8eMezzo Inc) and Canada (Kinosmith Inc), as well as a broadcast deal for the Netherlands (NTR).
Having premiered at Melbourne International Film Festival in Australia last year, Future Council will open the UK’s Into Film Festival, an event for young audiences, next month.
The film released in Australia and New Zealand cinemas through Madman Entertainment in August; further deals are in negotiation.
Future Council follows eight young environmental advocates on a road trip across Europe as they meet with corporate and political leaders, pushing for urgent ecological change.
The filmmaking team has launched a global impact campaign to extend the film’s reach. Aimed to empower children aged 9-16, participants can join monthly meet-ups with experts, access an AI database of ecological solutions, and vote to allocate resources from a Future Council Fund to support nature regeneration projects worldwide.
The film is produced by Australia’s Regen Studios.
“Future Council is resonating with audiences and buyers alike because it offers something rare in the climate space: optimism,” said Jess Reilly, head of sales & acquisitions at Together Films. “Damon and the Regen Studios team have created not just a film but a movement that enables young people to step into positions of real influence.”
“With almost 60% of our children experiencing eco-anxiety, Future Council is a pathway to give them hope, a voice, and a seat at the table in shaping the future they want,” said Gameau. “These international partnerships are an important step in ensuring their message is heard.”
