At international level, Cinemambiente is the promoter of the Environmental Film Festival Network, the association of the most important international environmental festivals.

The Rivoluzione Vegetale Project
The “Rivoluzione Vegetale” Project (the Vegetable Revolution Project) comes from a vision of utopian transformation of the urban habitat conceived by Luca Pastore. It starts from a snapshot of the current real difficulties of a large city like Turin and more generally of the entire Regional System to imagine a revolutionary solution entailing a radical transformation of the city, its inhabitants, lifestyles and economic system and triggering a positive loop to generate a completely new quality of life for the people. The project envisages the shooting of a documentary film that will premiere during the celebration of the 150° anniversary of the Unification of Italy and a conference to be held during the 7-11 October event. The conference is an important public happening involving the citizenship with the aim of illustrating the work of the Scientific Committee in an unusual way. The project will be completed by a communication campaign that will accompany its development and implementation.
