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.

FILM FOR CHANGE
PRO EVENT
MARCH 26TH – 4:30PM
Searching for new narratives
An event bringing together the audiovisual sector – producers, distributors, authors, actors – and new narratives experts to promote more inclusive and environmental conscious narratives at the heart of mainstream fiction.
We will explore through conferences and inspiring project pitches how fiction can contribute to the construction of more sustainable collective imaginaries.
Pitch Session
The selection of the top 8 fiction projects embodying these new narratives will pitch to a jury of producers and distributors.
Not necessarily activists, these modern fictions, while retaining their appeal, inspire sustainable behaviours on screen and awaken public consciousness.
