In 2019, Australian filmmaker Damon Gameau produced the acclaimed documentary, 2040, structured as a visual letter to his then-four-year-old daughter Velvet to explore what the future could look like by the year 2040 if we simply embraced the best solutions already available to us. As Earth Day 2022 approaches, Gameau will be returning to the Gold Coast Film Festival in Queensland – where 2040 premiered - to introduce his new 17-minute short film, Regenerating Australia.

It is not often that lightning strikes twice at Sundance for the same film but for Carey Williams, that is exactly what happened for the opening night unspooling of EMERGENCY at Sundance 2022. This marks the Pensacola, Florida native’s second showcase of that title, the first being his presentation in the shorts section back in 2018.
