MIA Market 2023 to host the upcoming Green Film Lab workshop

The third edition of Green Film Lab workshop will be held at MIA International Audiovisual Market in Rome, from October 13th to 15th 2023. The programme promotes environmentally sustainable practices in audiovisual production and guides professionals on how to apply a green protocol and get a certification through 3-day workshops held in different European regions, in collaboration with film institutions and funds. MIA is partnering with TorinoFilmLab - National Museum of Cinema and Green Film - Trentino Film Commission hosting the forthcoming Italian workshop, which is taking place on the tail end of the ninth edition of MIA in Rome.

The workshop, entirely held in English, is open to 24 participants among film and series industry professionals, to fund, film commissions and institutions delegates as well as to professionals working in sustainability. The deadline for applications is Friday, 4th September 2023, 2:00 p.m. CET.

Through a practical, project-based and hands-on approach, participants will learn how to apply to audiovisual production the current best practices in terms of energy-saving, transport, accommodation, catering, set decoration, waste management, recycling and communication. On top of that, they will network with other regional and European professionals who share their interest in sustainability. The training activities will be based on the Green Film Rating System and its two main features: the sustainability plan and the certification process for audiovisual projects.

Thanks to a long-lasting and effective collaboration with its sustainability partner, Green Film, since 2019 MIA | Mercato Internazionale Audiovisivo has been a certified sustainable event and has a constant focus on implementing new programs and initiatives, year after year, aimed at promoting sustainability for greater industry awareness with respect to industrial production practices of audiovisual products, with a particular interest in reducing environmental impact, fostering industry education on zero impact, in line with the main green protocols adopted in Europe.
