In a world-first, designer, director and BAFTA-nominated producer Liam Young brings his visionary speculative film PLANET CITY to life in an immersive experience like no other.
In a world of escalating climate crises, bold dreams aren’t optional—they’re essential. What if, instead of unchecked expansion and environmental destruction, we radically reversed our course? What if the entire global population lived in one hyper-dense city, leaving the rest of the planet to rewild?

Presented in partnership with Vivid Sydney and accompanied by a live performance of its haunting Forest Swords score, this boundary-pushing event presents a breathtaking image of a radical new world order. Join us for this revelatory and urgent examination of our choices, our impact and the possibilities still within our grasp.

This event is presented in partnership with Vivid Sydney and City Recital Hall.
