Flickers of the Future calls on young content creators to tell a different story - one where humans and planet thrive together.
The way that we depict the future plays a critical part in how it unfolds, and research shows that the bleak dystopias that films are currently portraying create fear, denial and passivity. Creative focus has been on heroes dragging the remaining few through soulless high-tech nightmares that viewers struggle to relate to. We need content that uses humour, aspirational and feel-good storylines to inspire us all to strive for a very different future.
"This could be the most important drama of our time, a much needed route to drive the rapid and major changes we need to avert a climate crisis and achieve the United Nations Global Goals. We’re in the thick of a real emergency for planet and the people - so I urge you to get involved today and put your best creative energy to saving our weird, worrying but still wonderful world." Flickers of the Future patron Richard Curtis CBE
