Inspiration
Good stories with worthwhile messages always leave a lasting impression on the audience. When such stories are told via films, it can inform and influence millions. Meaningful stories, told through films have been catalysts for social, economic and political changes since the birth of the art form. The inspiration for the Big Syn Film Festival is drawn from this unparalleled power of effective storytelling via films. When important messages are passed in the context of a visual story rather than just a generic message, the impact is far greater than otherwise. The Big Syn Film Festival intends to celebrate films, documentaries and videos that can brilliantly pass on core objectives of the Centre for Big Synergy and also encourage all stakeholders to actively participate in meeting the core objectives of the UN 2030 Agenda.
Action
The Big Syn Film Festival is hosted annually.
Impact
The festival has championed the use of visual storytelling to inform, inspire and involve millions of stakeholders to create a more sustainable future.
These films have been screened to millions of viewers, informing them about the UNSDGs and the role of the civic society in ensuring the success of the UN 2030 Agenda, all through the power of meaningful and relatable stories.
