TorinoFilmLab (TFL) has selected six projects and 13 production execs for its final Green Film Lab workshop of the year.
The six projects consist of five feature films and one TV series. Among them are Lauren Marsden’s eco-fantasy thriller feature Mama D’Lo, in which an aspiring environmental manager is summoned to the jungle by supernatural forces after witnessing a bribery scheme that threatens a vulnerable river in Trinidad.

The film is a Canada-Trinidad and Tobago-UK co-production, through Robert Maylor and Nicola Ofoego on behalf of Canada’s Mamaguy Pictures, and co-produced by the UK’s Buff Originals.
The Green Film Lab aims to unite screen industry professionals to discuss sustainable practices in production, including how to apply green protocol and be certified by sustainability organisations.
TFL has selected seven professionals to participate in the workshop, alongside six professionals from the sustainability industry. They include Beatrice Belli, a physical production specialist at Amazon Studios in Italy; and Brigita Beniusyte, producer at Lithuania’s M-Films.
The Green Film Lab workshop will run from October 13-15 in Rome, concurrently with the ninth edition of the MIA market for the first time. Launching last year, it is run by TFL and the Green Film -Trentino Film Commission.
The Green Film Lab team attending in Rome will include Giovanni Pompili, producer at Kino Produzioni and TFL alumnus; Louise Marie Smith, founder of Neptune Environmental Solutions; writer-director Lucie Tremolieres; and assistant director and sustainability consultant Dorte Schneider Garcia.
The Green Film Lab has also set dates for its first 2024 workshop, which will take place from March 5-8 in Athens, Greece, in collaboration with the Greek Film Centre, and will involve up to 30 participants.
