Creating a Sustainable Event
To develop a green event, the Moscerine Film Festival implemented the following practices:
Through the international platform MyClimate.org, the emissions generated by the three days of the Festival and the closing celebration were calculated. In order to reduce the CO₂ footprint and support climate protection, CO₂ credits were purchased.
MFF also received the new impact label “Agire. Sostenibile” from myclimate, part of the organization’s global offering, which includes consulting, training and climate protection projects.
All printed festival materials (flyers, programs and brochures) were produced using FSC-certified recycled paper, and digital PDF versions were made available on the website. The organization also sent all informational materials related to the festival days to registered participants and selected filmmakers’ families in electronic format.
The stage design elements (stage panels) were reused from the previous edition. The roll-ups and yellow carpet created for this edition were intentionally produced without reference to a specific year, allowing them to be reused in future editions.
Promoting Good Practices
MFF dedicated a special evening to partner organizations and festivals from across Italy committed to environmental sustainability.
Vision2030 – Cinema Ecosostenibile di Noto, a festival created to become a national reference point for debate and promotion of documentary works related to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the UN 2030 Agenda, was featured during the event. MFF screened the documentary Dream of Glass by Andrea Bancone, winner of the “Best Documentary” award at Vision2030.
Through the Corti Pischelli section of the Pigneto Film Festival, the short film What is the Sea For? was screened. The film was produced for the Pianeta Mare Film Festival, an international event held in Naples that explores the relationship between the sea and cinema, from early chronophotography experiments to contemporary smartphone filmmaking.
How to Reach the Cinema
The Festival is free and open to all. Visitors who arrive by bicycle or present a bus or tram ticket receive the official MFF sticker to wear during the event.
The Nuovo Cinema Aquila is located at Via L’Aquila 66, in the Pigneto district of Rome. Via Prenestina, just 50 meters from the cinema, is served by several bus and tram lines, including numbers 5, 14 and 19.
The nearest metro stop is Pigneto Station (Line C), approximately 250 meters from the venue.
All major shared mobility services operate in the area, including Bird (e-scooters), Lime (e-scooters and bicycles), Ecooltra (electric scooters) and Enjoy (car sharing).
Environmental Culture
The Festival established an agreement with Giulia Morello, Artistic Director of Vision2030 – Cinema Sostenibile, to provide informational and educational activities focused on environmental awareness.
These activities were designed to promote environmental responsibility and sustainable practices among young participants.
The Festival also promoted products from its sponsor Panarium, a local company founded in Rome in 1970 that produces bread, pizza and “pinse” using natural ingredients such as sourdough and selected flours. The sponsor was chosen as a medium-sized local enterprise capable of enhancing local products and short supply chains.
Both inside the cinema and in the street area in front of the venue, a proper separate waste collection system was implemented, dividing waste into: Paper and cardboard Plastic, metals and glass Organic waste Residual urban waste
