Take your camera and shoot your reality

Cities are places of opportunities, but they come with many challenges.

Since 2014, over 2 000 filmmakers have joined us in our quest for more liveable urban areas, provoking and engaging people around with short documentaries. But we still need you !

 

Do you live in an urban environment ? Can you shoot a 4 minutes documentary ? Do you want to inspire people around the world to make the change happening ?

 

Tell us your story of citizens involvement, situations to be denounced, key challenges to be addressed and be ready to make an impact.

 

Your story can change the world.
