The 15th edition of Green Film Lab, the programme developed by TorinoFilmLab and Green Film, came to a close in Rome after three days of intensive workshops, networking and knowledge exchange.
Following earlier sessions in Turin and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the final stop of 2026 Green Film Labs brought together professionals from across Europe and beyond to explore practical approaches to sustainability in film and TV production.
Hosted in partnership with Fondazione Roma Lazio Film Commission and in collaboration with MIA | Mercato Internazionale Audiovisivo, the workshop welcomed 21 participants from 10 countries, including producers, sustainability professionals and project teams developing feature films and international co-productions.
Throughout the three-day programme, participants worked alongside an international team of tutors led by Giovanni Pompili, with contributions from sustainability experts Norma Cuadros Gonzalez, Dörte Schneider Garcia and Lucie Trémolières. Through plenary sessions, group work and peer-to-peer exchanges, the Lab examined how environmental sustainability can be embedded into audiovisual projects from the earliest stages of development, turning green practices into a strategic component of production design rather than an additional requirement.
A key highlight of the Rome edition was the Green Film Lab Open Session, hosted within the programme of MIA 2026 at Palazzo Barberini. Open to MIA accredited industry professionals, the event offered a series of talks addressing different aspects of sustainable filmmaking, from the role of green producers and sustainability managers to environmental certification and biodiversity protection on set. The session created a valuable opportunity for dialogue between Lab participants and the wider audiovisual community.
Green Film Lab is a programme by TorinoFilmLab and Green Film, organised by the National Cinema Museum and Trentino Film Commission.
The programme is realised thanks to the support of Creative Europe – MEDIA Sub-programme of the European Union, and in collaboration with ACE Producers, EAVE, and Ecoprod. Since its launch in 2022, Green Film Lab has continued to support a growing international network of professionals committed to reducing the environmental impact of audiovisual production.
