Flickers of the Future calls on young filmmakers to tell a different story - one where humans and planet thrive together. 

It is a competition for UK filmakers and scriptwriters under the age of 25 to create a human story of a sustainable future.  It embraces the challenge of creating content powerful enough to cut through to popular culture, without relying on the drama of dystopian narratives. 

"Flickers of the Future calls on young filmmakers to script a story that will motivate millions to forge a radically different future - one where humans and planet thrive together. 

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."


Richard Curtis CBE -  Film maker, Founder Comic Relief and Project Everyone and UN Advocate for the Sustainable Development Goals
