The UN's Sustainable Development Goals (Global Goals) are the connective thread running through Envision's screenings, panel discussions and social networking. Building on the Millennium Development Goals, the new Global Goals provide a roadmap to ending global poverty, promoting prosperity and well-being for all, protecting the environment and addressing climate change by 2030.
Founded in 2008, Envision is a unique partnership between the Independent Filmmaker Project and the United Nations Department of Public Information. Our partnership is built on the shared belief that storytelling and documentary film can be powerful tools in building a better future for all people.
Anchored by the Sustainable Development Goals, Envision’s annual gathering connects UN experts and NGO advocates with some of the most creative minds in filmmaking and new media, with the goal of finding fresh, compelling ways to create momentum for social change. The gatherings offer a critical opportunity for filmmakers and social change activists to forge creative, cross-sector partnerships to promote their causes and reach wider audiences.
