The 13th edition of Green Film Lab has successfully concluded in Turin, home of Torino Film Lab. The programme is developed by TorinoFilmLab and Green Film with the aim of promoting environmentally sustainable practices in film production and providing practical guidance on how to apply a green protocol and obtain certification.
Green Film Lab is addressed to audiovisual professionals with or without an ongoing project, sustainability professionals, and delegates from film institutions.
Tutored by Louise Marie Smith (United Kingdom), Dörte Schneider Garcia (Germany) and Lucie Trémolières (France) the workshop aims to give to participants a practical, project-based and hands-on approach to applying best green practices to their productions.
A panel discussion featuring Luca Ferrario, Director of Trentino Film Commission and Silvia Sandrone from Creative Europe MEDIA Desk, moderated by Green Film Lab’s Head of Studies Giovanni Pompili, addressed the topic of green policies for the audiovisual sector in Italy and Europe.
From Italy to Argentina crossing all Europe, the group of participants reflected a rich diversity of cultures and professional approaches, greatly enriching the exchange and dialogue throughout the programme. Each of the six teams worked on and tested the development of a sustainability plan aimed at achieving Green Film certification.
A heartfelt thank you to Film Commission Torino Piemonte for the warm welcome, and to TorinoFilmLab—in particular Séverine Petit— for the excellent organisation and coordination that always makes this experience so enriching.
With the additional support of AGICI, Politecnico di Torino, Italian Film Commission, Festival CinemAmbiente and Lovers Film Festival.
