Future Dreaming, a conversation with Dr David E Martin
Future Dreaming is a remarkable documentary that will challenge the way you think about humanity.
In 2015, ‘The Unstoppables’ took 120 of Australia’s top entrepreneurs on a floating think tank cruising around Antarctica with the sole purpose of creating and influencing a better future.
Whilst on the expedition, film director Kaya Finlayson recorded a conversation with the renowned thinker Dr David E Martin, to explore the narratives that drive our economic, social and political thinking and unpacks the assumptions that underlie those conditions.
Join us on Tuesday, July 20 at Olderfleet for a viewing of the documentary, hosted by co-founder of ‘The Unstoppables’ Geoff Gourley. Geoff is a leading Global Social Innovator, Entrepreneur, Impact Investor, NED and former Board member of the UN in Australia.

Future Dreaming, a conversation with Dr David E Martin
20 July 2021
6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Awarded “Feature Documentary” at Sydney Indie Film Festival, Future Dreaming critiques the models that we are working with and then offers a new model, one that has existed for billions of years. David likes to call this model the Genius of the Universe; it is the intelligence that underlies the natural world creating a sustainable and successful ecosystem. David asks a very simple question – what would humanity look like if we stopped imposing our models upon nature, and instead, chose to follow the same playbook as the ecosystem we find ourselves in?
Interested in the potential of mankind? Then this is for you.
