Roll Out the Green Carpet!


Through an exciting partnership with the Natural Resources Defence Council (NRDC), the IETFF will be one of the world’s “green” festivals. The IETFF’s forums and events will be used to educate audiences, filmmakers, government leaders and studio executives on ecologically life practices and on environmentally responsible film production techniques. IETFF will in addition work on minimizing its environmental footprint by identifying environmentally friendly solutions, from waste management to recycling and purchasing of carbon assets.


NRDC recently also partnered with the 79th Annual Academy Awards to transmit the environmental message to tens of millions of spectators watching the Oscar Awards. This innovative greening project is to be further enhanced at Oscar events in years to come, targeted ecologically significant impacts, including global warming pollution and energy use, paper products, set design, transportation, and food service.
