Searching for the stories of tomorrow
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 explored through conferences and inspiring project pitches how fiction can contribute to the construction of more sustainable collective imaginaries.
PITCH
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.
CONFERENCES
Inspiring conferences to discuss the role fiction can play in the ecological transition. What are these new narratives? What imaginaries can cinema contribute building ?
We will also discuss various ways to integrate these new imaginaries into creation. How action, adventure, and romance films can carry these new narratives through hidden messages, the importance of constructing narratives in desirable and viable futures versus futures of collapse...
Our goal is to use and nourish the amazing storytelling power of cinema for positive change.
