, an activist film festival dedicated to uniting socially minded filmmakers with an equally impassioned public in order to engage with the concerns of sustainable development and related issues facing the global community.
“In the United States, over the past few years, we’ve seen a strong trend towards civic-minded content,” says Obéron. “Questions of diversity, inclusion, climate change and other environmental concerns have not only informed documentaries, but many narrative features as well. With our first Cinema for Change forum, we want to bring together members French industry who are interested in the same questions.
On that last front, Obéron shows particular optimism. The sterling box-office hauls of recent socially conscious crowd-pleasers like Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano’s “The Specials” and Louis-Julien Petit’s “Invisibles” proves to the French producer that this kind of social impact cinema can find purchase in the commercial sphere.
And so the inaugural forum will bring together roughly 150 producers, screenwriters and film financiers alongside representatives from various NGOs, policymakers, and non-profits for a daylong rap session focusing on more effective collaborations. Structured around four unique round-tables dedicated to storytelling, financing, production and distribution, the forum aims to reframe each step along the traditional supply chain as avenues for activism.
