From 24 to 26 July, Green Film Lab will welcome its 19 participants from 9 different countries in Gran Canaria: what is a better set for a workshop on sustainable production if not a sustainable location?
Focused on the intersection of cinema and sustainability, Green Film Lab is organised by TFL in partnership with Green Film – Trentino Film Commission, with the support of the Creative Europe – MEDIA Sub-programme of the European Union, and in collaboration with ACE Producers, EAVE, and Ecoprod.
