Two Decades in Two Minutes

A visual tribute to a quiet force in European social policy.

This short animated film traces the remarkable journey of Christian Fillet — from his first ESN conference in 2002 to his decade-long legacy as Chair of the European Social Network. But it’s more than a timeline. It’s a visual reflection on the moments, people, and principles that shaped not only one man’s path, but also the growth of a network that champions strong, inclusive social services across Europe.

Christian’s leadership has never been about visibility — it’s been about value. He rarely claimed the spotlight, yet those who’ve worked alongside him speak of deep influence and quiet strength. This film captures that essence: the steady progress, the human connections, and the enduring belief that public social services deserve thoughtful, ethical leadership.

Whether you’ve known Christian for years or are discovering his story for the first time — this is two minutes well spent.
