First investment tool for movies that go far beyond the screen

Our mission is to fight stereotypes in cinema and television by fostering the production and distribution of movies and series to change the way people perceive social issues such as cultural diversity or the role of women in society.

We intervene either by financing films and series already dealing with the issues it supports, or by working directly on the scripts to erase the clichés they contain or place these causes directly.

We use the traditional economical reference model of investment in the movie industry to support a committed approach in cinema.

The causes we are supporting are

Social cohesion & equal opportunities
(social, ethnic, sexual, disability, those who are not seen)
Women’s empowerment
Major societal issues
citizenship, democracy, freedom

Our team

Impact Film is led by a team of volunteers who are strongly convinced that images can change the world. The organization brings together complementary expertises, in financial and legal support. Its members include Hubert Caillard, Raphaël Daniel, Caroline Dhainaut, Maud Leclair, and Olivier Saby.

The association is particularly committed to develop research on this subject by founding theObservatoire des images, the first French non-profit organization providing academic expertise on clichés in cinema, television, advertising and video games.

Our work has been noticed by Le Monde, Les Echos, Ecran total, Le Point, So Good, la Gazette des communes, le Nouvel Obs, le Film français and Marie Claire.

Olivier Saby, co-founder of ImpactFilm, has published an opinion column Breaking the chains of stereotypical representations, following the urban riots of summer 2023.

I want the movie to start once you've left the cinema.
