The important presence of Green Film certified productions at Venice is further evidence that sustainable practices are gaining momentum across the industry and  that sustainability is becomingan increasingly integral part of film production. 
 
But what is crucial to a successful sustainability strategy? Skilled professionals, dedicated exclusively to it! 

That was the idea behind the Green SCAP programme, a high-end training for Sustainable Managers for the film and audiovisual industry, that has recently concluded. 

Green SCAP Closing Event at Venice

Green SCAP (Skills for Cinema and Audiovisual Professionals) closing event will take place in Venice on 6 September, from 12:00 AM to 1:30 PM. 

The training initiative, led by Veneto Film Commission in collaboration with the Film Office of Central Macedonia (Greece), the Hellenic Film Commission of the Hellenic Film and Audiovisual Center (Greece), and the Mediterranean Creative Hub of Mallorca (Spain) and curated by Green Film, has successfully tutored 12 European participants in developing the knowledge and skills needed to implement sustainable practices in audiovisual productions. 

The event is a reminder of a fundamental principle: training and education are essential drivers of real and lasting change. Building a more sustainable film industry requires not only standards and tools but also the continuous development of skills, awareness, and collaboration among all industry stakeholders.
