Ecoprod and Eurimages announce the launch of Step Up, an innovative toolkit and e-learning platform dedicated to advancing green production practices in the film industry. This project stems from a Eurimages initiative and is developed by the non-profit association Ecoprod, in collaboration with leading European experts.

Step Up adapts to the needs of professionals in diverse regions and roles such as producers, film commissioners and people working on set, with the knowledge and tools necessary to integrate sustainable practices into their productions. The platform is accessible to all film professionals, regardless of their level of expertise or prior knowledge.

Step Up addresses the growing need for accessible, standardized training on sustainable production. It bridges significant disparities in the availability of such education across countries and provides a comprehensive, practical solution tailored to the unique challenges of the international film industry.

The platform offers a curated learning experience, covering the principles of green production, focusing on practical applications, from understanding international regulations to implementing sustainable workflows. Interactive features such as quizzes, exercises, and case studies enhance the learning process.

Step Up is not only a tool for skill-building but also a means of fostering greater awareness of the environmental impact of film production. By providing centralized access to reliable resources, including a mapping of sustainability initiatives, clear guidance on regulations, and strategies for anticipating future industry shifts, the platform aims to elevate sustainability standards across the sector, Eurimages member countries and beyond.

Step Up’s launch event will provide film professionals and industry stakeholders an opportunity to discover the platform and its pivotal role in advancing sustainable practices. Environmental experts and producers will share their experiences implementing sustainability measures for international co-production.
