Today, the cinema industry holds a statutory role as a vector of social, educational and environmental values. Awareness is an essential pillar of the art, as is the need to present better visibility to powerful and cause focused films, all driven by the desire to have a positive impact on the world.
As such, since 2016, through tangible actions, prestigious international events and inspiring cultural programs, we have brought together celebrities, filmmakers and leaders from all around the world, fueled by the desire to positively influence the future of our society.
The Better World fund stands out with its unique disruptive format as it offers a rich program, full of meaning and hope, through:
- Mastermind Conferences in Partnership with Cirlce X
- “Academia for a Better World” in partnership with the Paris-Saclay University
- “Youth's got the Power” Masterclass Conferences,
- Cocktails & Networking Lunches
- Sumptuous gala dinners invigorated by showcases,
- Awards in recognition of leaders, artists and entrepreneurs who instigated a positive impact, including innovative start-ups.

Remembering a visionary: David Lynch
Today, we bid farewell to a true master of cinema. David Lynch’s surreal storytelling and boundary-pushing artistry have left an indelible mark on film and television.
At Better World Fund, we were honored to celebrate Lynch’s legacy during our 2022 Venice Film Festival gala at la Mizericordia di Venizia. Joined by Catherine Deneuve and Joanna Plafsky, board member of the David Lynch Foundation, we paid tribute to a man whose work transcended the screen.
May his creative spirit continue to inspire generations of filmmakers and artists. Rest in peace, David Lynch. Your dreams will forever be part of our reality.
