Four films. Four leaders. One New York Climate Week Premiere.
Want to hear stories from the people on the front lines of change? Join us for a first look at the newest award-winning films coming out of the Solutions Storytelling Project, presented by Video Consortium and the Skoll Foundation.
Grab some popcorn and settle in for a solutions-fueled storytelling tour across South Asia.
This short film showcase highlights a unique global fellowship that pairs emerging filmmakers with local changemakers to capture solutions-focused stories. Stick around for a short conversation from the changemakers themselves about what it took to bring these impactful films to life, and how we can use visual storytelling to drive tangible change.
See exclusive teasers from:
- A female drone pilot in India refusing to let patriarchy define her future
- A fishing family in Indonesia fighting to save the coral reef their livelihood depends on
- A weaver preserving a centuries-old craft through the most basic ability: sight
- A wise matriarch reflecting on the power of her land to supercede human greed
This session also marks the New York Climate Week Premiere of From Fields to Flight, a moving short film from the fellowship that’s screening at festivals around the globe.
Think of the stage as the preview and our activation room as the theater – if a story grabs you, the full films will be playing all night in the adjacent Hard Bar for anyone who can’t wait to find out what happens next.
