The Locarno Film Festival is pledged to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and has identified six priority SDGs which are most significantly impacted by its practices.
Help us reduce the Festival's emissions by choosing sustainable means of transport. Here are our suggestions for getting to Locarno and around the Festival, including free public transport throughout the canton and bike hire.
This year we have significantly reduced the number of PET bottles used in the official venues and, thanks to the City of Locarno, we are happy to show you here where you can find fountains with fresh drinking water to fill your water bottles.
With the help of our partners, we will inform the Locarno76 public about responsible waste separation and our commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals at the various festival venues.
Locarno76 collaborates with Too good to go! Every day, three different meals (vegetarian, meat and dessert) will be available for pick-up at the Magistral. The announcement will be made on the Too good to go app.
Since last year, the festival has also been donating leftover materials from the event to the Diamond Foundation, which uses them to make a variety of handmade products. This year we are happy to be able to showcase their products in our online shop.
A panel discussion on "Embracing Diversity: Inclusion and the Representation of Disability in the Film Industry" will be held again this year at the @Cinema Space Forum. A conversation exploring the power of diverse voices and narratives to challenge stereotypes and foster a more inclusive cinematographic industry with Clare Baines, Pascal Plisson and Stavros Zafeiris moderated by Fatih Abay.
From this Edition, we are calculating the CO2e emissions and working towards a comprehensive plan to reduce the carbon footprint of the Festival with the support of Positive Organizations, our Sustainability Reporting Partner.
