The GFN introduced the Green Film Network Award, the equivalent of an Oscar in the environmental cinema, to single out the best film out of all the winning films of the previous year’s festivals associated to the network.

The members of GFN have to present a documentary selected in their annual selection and produced in their own country, to show the diversity and the strength of environmental documentary creations around the world. Each year a festival, supported by the GFN, hosts the Green Award event. An international jury have to watch the films on a private platform and award one of the documentaries.

GFN wishes to support documentary creations and to aware the widest audience around the world about environmental and social issues
