film to Sydney as a gift not only to say thank you but as a reminder that Australians
can be players in a global community”.

this global creative movement by capturing part of their day on video and digital
cameras, mobile phones and audio recorders. Social media platforms such as
Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo, Flickr and Youtube, were also utilised.

Submissions were received from 179 countries and are now the contents of a feature-
length documentary film. Everything you see and hear (including the soundtrack) was
all recorded on 11/11/11. Exposing a chronological reveal of different global stories,
will give viewers a unique chance to discover both the ordinary and extraordinary of
what life is like on earth. “This is not a film about our planet and it is a film about our
people” Ms. Lauren proudly exclaims.

Focusing on the truest sense of community and collaboration, Ms Lauren will turn to
the people of Sydney to have their final say on the 11Eleven Project Documentary.
“We are all working together – the film and the audience – this is a shared experience
