Green Latam Lab is organised by TorinoFilmLab - Museo Nazionale del Cinema with Bocacha Films.

- Producers with a fiction feature project in pre-production (scheduled to shoot within the next 9 months), as well as producers without a current project who are interested in developing green practices on set, learning how to integrate green strategies into their productions, and engaging their crews effectively.
Producers with a project may apply alone or together with the crew member responsible for implementing the sustainability strategy on set.

- Crew members (e.g., production assistants, production coordinators, line producers) who wish to gain practical knowledge on how to implement environmentally-friendly measures on set, following the producer’s guidance, and upskill their profiles with the competencies needed to manage the day-to-day workflow during production.

- Delegates from funds, film commissions, and film institutions who are interested in acquiring tools to inform policy development and implementation.
