Monday, 5 September 2011
On July 24, 2010, thousands of people around the world uploaded videos of their day to YouTube to take part in
Life in a Day

ncluding 1,500 from Australia
, executive producer Ridley Scott and Oscar winning director Kevin Macdonald have crafted a 90-minute feature film that paints a surprising, moving and entertaining portrait of the world today.
The movie premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January and was simultaneously live streamed on YouTube. The film
arrived down under
at the Sydney Film Festival and subsequently at the Melbourne Film festival, and we’re proud to announce that
Life in a Day
is now playing in select
Chauvel Cinemas
.
Happy watching!
