Green is the color of new beginnings, life, and renewal. That is exactly what the Going Green Film Festival and the Green Lifestyles Film Festival aim to promote. In essence, green filmmaking encourages filmmakers to produce films in a way which will leave less of a carbon imprint on the environment.
Applicants of the Going Green Film Festival are required to submit a green film ranging from the categories of green production, our planet, and hybrid and alternative transportation. The green production category requires applicants to make a film of any genre that specifically documents and explains the parts of the film which were considered to be green filmmaking. The “our planet” category encourages filmmakers to make a film about a third world issue, ecology, nature, wildlife, or environmental. The last category involves making a film that features the uses of an environmentally friendly way of transportation such as a hybrid car or a bicycle.
The Green Lifestyles film festival, on the other hand, is a 501 © 3 non-profit organization who aims to change the modern day message brought on by violent box office hits and encourage filmmakers to spread messages of inspiration within their films. Both festivals celebrate filmmakers who want to make a difference and leave the world a healthier and more conscious place. Watch for Maxim within the gift bag give ways at both festivals.
