We study the influence of large and small scales photospheric motions on the destabilization of an eruptive filament, observed on October 6, 7, and 8, 2004 as part of an international observing campaign (JOP 178). Large-scale horizontal flows are invetigated from a series of MDI/SOHO full-disc Dopplergrams and magnetograms from THEMIS. Small-scale horizontal flows were derived using local correlation tracking on TRACE satellite, Dutch Open Telescope (DOT) and The Dunn Solar telescope (DST) data. The topology of the flow field changed significantly during the filament eruptive phase, suggesting a possible coupling between the surface flow field and the coronal magnetic field. We measured an increase of the shear below the point where the eruption starts and a decrease in shear after the eruption. We conclude that there is probably a link between changes in surface flow and the disappearance of the eruptive filament.
