In the past year, TorinoFilmLab has introduced two awards to support the reflection on the global changes affecting our society, and to encourage eco-sustainable actions on the production set.
They are assigned to the best ScriptLab and FeatureLab projects during the annual TFL Meeting Event in November.
TorinoFilmLab is actively promoting a more sustainable industry. More about TFL actions here.
