In 2017 Trentino Film Fund and Commission launched T-Green Film, a new tool for promoting environmental sustainability in the film industry, becoming the first regional fund in Europe to both prize and certify production companies that work in a more environmentally sustainable way.
In 2019 T-Green Film underwent a revision and evolved into GREEN FILM, becoming an off-the-shelf tool, ready to be adopted by other institutions, such as film funds, film commissions, and broadcasters, and to be used in other regions. At the present time, Trentino Film Commission is committed in the development of an international network of institutions that share GREEN FILM as a common tool for encouraging and certifying environmentally sustainable film production.

Film production companies that are planning to shoot their films or television series in Trentino can choose, on a voluntary basis, to use the GREEN FILM Rating System as a guide to a more sustainable approach in their work. By implementing the actions reported in the manual, producers can rationalise the power consumption on the set, optimise the use of vehicles, improve the selection of materials, choose more healthy and sustainable catering options, ensure the correct management of waste, and learn how to communicate sustainability in order to increase the public’s awareness.
