Searching for new narratives in fiction
Films and series hold immense sway over collective imagination.
Our objective is to accelerate the evolution of the audiovisual industry and to harness the storytelling power of cinema for positive change.
We weave new narratives into familiar stories—more inclusive, human-centric, and environmentally aware.
3 pillars
to adress the topic during the Summit
Conferences
Film for Change explores narratives, storytelling approaches, and the role of industry players in addressing societal and environmental challenges.
Script Pitches
Presentation of the selected projects following the call for scripts, embodying the new narratives of tomorrow.
Reverse Pitches
Studios, producers, and distributors share their expectations and needs when it comes to impact-driven storytelling.
Stories to shape a new world
An event bringing together the audiovisual sector – producers, distributors, authors, actors – and new narrative experts to promote more inclusive and environmentally conscious narratives at the heart of mainstream fiction.
Exploring through conferences and inspiring project pitches how fiction can contribute to the construction of a more sustainable collective imaginary.
Last Pitch Session
The selection of the top 6 fiction projects embodying these new narratives pitched to a jury of producers and distributors.
Not necessarily activists, these modern fictions, while retaining their appeal, inspire sustainable behaviors on screen and awaken public consciousness.
