Green Film Network Explained

The Green Film Network[1] is an international association of environmental film festivals and was founded to support the work of international documentary filmmakers and promote films that raise awareness of environmental topics. The network currently comprises 32 festivals in 23 countries.

Green Film Network Award

The annual GFN Awards honor the most inspiring and impactful environmental films of the past year, exploring critical issues such as climate, food, energy, wildlife, and oceans. Films are nominated by 30 international film festivals that focus on environmental issues, and the winners are selected by an international jury. The awards ceremony is hosted at one of the GFN member festivals, rotating each year.

In February 2014, the network presented the inaugural Green Film Network Award[2] as a new international award for best environmental documentary of the year. The first GFN Award was presented to filmmaker Reuben Aaronson for the documentary Amazon Gold during the opening ceremony of Fife Île-de-France (International Environmental Film Festival) in Paris on February 4.[3] [4] [5]

In 2018, an award for Best Green Short was introduced.

The 2020 Awards included a special presentation ceremony on April 28, 2021,[6] which took place online due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 43 films from 25 countries were nominated. A special one-time award was also presented for Best Film of the Decade 2010-2020.
