Why is green filming the future of the film industry? What are the rules of green puppet making? How does it look nowadays? And what is the biggest challenge about it? We will talk about these and many more subjects in the circle of great professionals that will share their own observations on green puppet making.

Using their knowledge and expertise, we will talk about practical advice that can allow planning and practicing solutions neutralising the film industry’s impact on the environment.

The key point of the event is going to be a discussion about a unique green guide prepared as part of StopMoLab programme organized by MOMAKIN.

We invite producers, managers, developers, directors, post-production companies and everyone that cares deeply about the environment.
