OILympics

Satirical climate film exposing fossil-fuel sponsorship in global sport.

Through this project, we use creativity to spark action. The message is clear: No winter. No Winter Games.

We're proud to partner with Greenpeace on OILympics, to shine a spotlight on the true cost of fossil fuel sponsorship in sports. While the world celebrates the Winter Olympics, companies like Eni are accelerating climate destruction, putting our winters — and the Games themselves — at risk.

Bringing this to life meant finding a balance between spectacle and detail. The avalanches had to feel massive against entire mountain ranges, but still believable in how they interact with the characters up close. There's no real-world reference for that kind of scenario, which opened up space to shape our own version of realism — one that serves the story first.

No generative AI was used in this production.

"No winter. No Winter Games."
