The Forest
Lo schermo dell'arte is a project dedicated to exploring and promoting the relationship between cinema and contemporary art through a festival, research and training projects, exhibitions, artist residencies, production, distribution and educational programs.It was born in Florence in 2008 and over the years it has collaborated with many art centers, institutions, museums, academies and universities in Italy and abroad. In its fourteen years of activity it has involved more than 300 artists, directors, producers, curators and more than 50 institutions from all over the world, confirming its role in the discovery of new talents and in the deepening of new expressive languages.For the 2021 edition of the Festival, we are happy to renew the collaboration with Treedom for the creation of a new forest that joins those planted in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. We also want to contribute to environmental sustainability, and with this initiative we confirm our commitment and attention in creating more ecologically aware events.
Impact
The trees we plant have big ambitions: to bring benefits not only to the environment, but also to the people who live in it. That's why we work with NGOs and local communities to select the right tree for the right place and the right purpose. That’s why we think about the medium and long term, because we’re not content with simply planting trees: we want to see them grow.
The trees in the forest will absorb:
5.50 t* of CO₂
