Green Filmmaking ♥’s greening Romania!
On June 14 and June 15, the Green Filmmaking Project’s Dorien Grötzinger, and professional Dutch Producer Brechtje Smidt (Deepeei Film Productions), held a workshop on green filmmaking during the Pelicam International Film Festival; check out photos from the event here!

The Green Film Making Project was present at the 67th Cannes Film Festival (check the photos here),
where we presented our project at the Dutch pavilion, and exchanged with sustainably minded filmmaking professionals from all over the world; Sweden, the UK, Belgium, Germany and Italy.

App Supports Sustainable Post-Production Workflow
FILMMORE, a post production company based in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, presents an innovative app for the iPad that allows post-production processes to be a lot easier, efficient and more sustainable. The innovative ‘FILMMORE Dailies App’ (get the app here, or check the video we made on it) allows for the editing and sharing of ‘dailies’ among crew, in a very easy and process efficient way. In effect, the app supports a more sustainable post-production workflow as it streamlines the dailies while saving time, energy, transport, and budget. We’re convinced.
