Certain films have the power to make a long-lasting change in our society. To strengthen the potential of cinematic storytelling as a tool for social and cultural change, the FIFDH has created the Impact Days. Filmmakers, producers, NGOs and foundations are invited to participate in this event where the goal is to find potential alliances and strategies that will increase the quality and results of impact campaigns.
