Cinema Verde, on a mission to tackle climate anxiety, and to foster exchange and environmental action is now making its award-winning films available on its own streaming platform. The 13-year-old non-profit educational organization. The subscription revenue of the channel is paid out fully to the independent environmental filmmakers.
Subscriptions to the streaming environmental film festival are now made available as employee perks, giving businesses the opportunity to provide access to the platform by purchasing discounted team tickets. Subscription purchases as employee care packages may be tax deductible for businesses.
The film curation is spearheaded by Trish Riley, long-time environmental journalist, author, and founding director of Cinema Verde. Topics of the short and feature films and documentaries include biodiversity conservation, water quality protection, air quality, waste reduction, and social justice.
"Environmental awareness and education are at the core of our mission," says Riley. "Learning about different and diverse parts of our world, practicing appreciation for our natural world, and observing different insights from our eco-filmmakers is a way to inspire change in times when the state of our world could easily cause us to freeze."
Cinema Verde festival films are based on the authentic storytelling of independent filmmakers who either offer an artistic way of spreading awareness for nature and society or explore and offer concrete solutions to some of the many environmental challenges we are facing. Featured indie eco filmmakers are speaking in roundtable talks on the streaming platform and are hosting Q&A's in the membership forum.
