Sustainability
Towards a greener festival
The core values of Savonlinna International Film Festival are nature conservation and appreciation of our environment. We aim to make the festival even more ecological in the upcoming years by making sustainable choices in the implementation of the event.
We are involving both our visitors and partners in this common goal.
We encourage our visitors to favor public transport and ecological means of transport when arriving to the festival.
We also encourage the audience to enjoy sustainably produced vegetarian, vegan and local food with us.
In 2022 in solidarity towards Ukraine we'll give you the possibility to give a voluntary donation for UNICEF to support the families and children in Ukraine during the Movie picnic.
