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 2025
The call for projects is now open!
You have a movie or series project aimed at the general public that highlights inclusive stories and respect for all living beings, shaping sustainable and inspiring narratives?
These stories don’t have to be activist or directly engaged but should seamlessly integrate values of inclusion and environmental respect, all while entertaining and captivating audiences.
Submit your project for a chance to pitch to our panel of producers and distributors in April at the Grand Palais during the Summit!
