Sustainability at Visionova

At Visionova, sustainability is about more than just the environment — it’s about building a fairer, more inclusive, and culturally vibrant world. Our festival operates at the intersection of civil society, creativity, and democratic expression, in direct alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals:

  • SDG 5 – Gender Equality: We promote equal representation and actively platform voices across all gender identities, ensuring that access to creative expression is not limited by outdated hierarchies or exclusionary norms.

  • SDG 10 – Reduced Inequalities: Our curatorial approach is global and non-discriminatory — we seek out work from the margins, including filmmakers from the Global South, underrepresented communities, and those historically excluded from the cinematic mainstream.

  • SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities & Communities: Visionova builds cultural spaces that bring people together — not just to watch films, but to connect, collaborate, and think critically. By grounding our events in Rome and expanding globally, we help foster resilient, culturally rich communities.

  • SDG 16 – Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions: We see cinema as a tool of civil society — a way to hold power to account, challenge hegemony, and elevate unheard voices. We champion transparency, merit-based selection, and open dialogue across borders.

Our commitment to sustainability includes practical steps: keeping our operations lean, minimising waste where possible, and collaborating with partners who share our values. But most of all, we believe in sustainable culture — one that celebrates diversity, resists monoculture, and gives voice to the many, not the few.

Cinema is not decoration. It’s the meeting place.
