ERIS [Climate Stories] is a Slovak non-profit helping filmmakers and audiovisual professionals across Central and Eastern Europe integrate climate reality into the stories we tell on screen.
Through training, research, creative development and industry collaboration, we connect climate knowledge with storytelling practice.
Upcoming event: INTRODUCING CLIMATE STORYTELLING IN VISEGRAD (November 2026, PRAGUE, Czech Republic)
ERIS [Climate Stories] was founded on the belief that climate change is not only a scientific or political problem, but also a cultural and human challenge. Facts and data alone are not enough – we need stories that touch emotions, build empathy, and show how our everyday choices are part of something larger. We believe that film and television can connect personal experience with global issues, making the climate crisis both understandable and relatable. Our aim is to shift the narrative from fear and paralysis to realism and action – bringing climate and social themes to screens in CEE, and inspiring audiences to imagine a different future and take part in creating it.
