Mulloon Institute is thrilled to be presenting the Australian premiere of Hummingbird Films' Regenerating Life, a film by John Feldman.
On Saturday 26 October at 2pm, we will host a screening of the documentary film Regenerating Life at Palace Electric Cinema, 2 Phillip Law St, Canberra. This event is part of a worldwide series of community screenings. It will be followed by a Q&A with a guest panel (to be announced).
Entry is by DONATION, which Hummingbird have very generously offered for Mulloon Institute. Seating is limited, registration is essential (via the link below).
Regenerating Life takes an ecological approach to unraveling the climate crisis. It challenges the prevailing idea that carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels are the primary cause of this crisis and offers a new narrative. The film proposes that it is humankind’s relentless destruction of the natural world that has caused the climate crisis. This is because nature – the vast biodiversity that exists on our planet – regulates and balances Earth’s climate.
Filmmaker John Feldman dives into the economic and political systems that have encouraged this destruction of Earth through the relentless quest for wealth and dominion but stresses that we can reverse this destructive process by Regenerating Life.
John visits people who are developing solutions. By working with nature, they are restoring the forests, fields, wetlands, and oceans. They are regenerating soils to grow healthy food and build healthy communities. This is the solution to the climate crisis.

Regenerating Life invites audiences to rethink their assumptions about climate change and humankind’s relationship to nature. Through community screenings and discussions, people may be inspired to come together to make changes in their own communities to help restore regional forests, parks and waterways and support the emergence of community gardens and locally grown nutritious food.
The film is classified Unrated with a PG recommendation.

“This film encourages you to take a step back from what is commonly accepted as the singular cause of climate change and view our world more holistically, reminding us how connected we are to our natural environment, regardless of our lifestyle. From the food in your kitchen to how you see the landscape, you will leave with better questions to ask in terms of how we can sustain ourselves as humans on this planet. You may also get the urge to hug a farmer.”
