Documentaries have the power to motivate change! Now in its sixth year, Impact Days has helped hundreds of participants elevate and amplify the impact of their work.

Within the right constellation of partnerships, documentaries have the power to move hearts and minds towards concrete action. At Impact Days we facilitate meaningful alliances between filmmakers and key players in the vast ecosystem of organisations, policymakers and funders active around International Geneva. 

"My first experience of Impact Days has been exciting, because there are very few places where you have the opportunity to be seated next to someone from the UN, and a filmmaker, and a producer, and have these conversations about ways to advance and improve the conditions of human rights around the world." 

- Jon-Sesrie Goff,  Ford Foundation (USA)

Throughout January and February, our online and in-person programme includes an Impact Lab for selected Impact Days projects and a strategy workshop for NGOs and other international organisations. In March we then welcome a wider professional public to Geneva for three inspiring days of public pitches, impact case studies, talks with key impact players and curated networking sessions. These activities are open to international filmmakers, impact producers, NGOs and other organisations, philanthropists and the media.
