The Kinéo Cultural Association was founded in early 2002 with the aim of promoting Italian cinema at a time of serious crisis for the industry and in conjunction with the enactment of new Delegated Decrees supplementing the Cinema Law.
This mission led her to create an award, the Kinéo Prize (diamonds for Italian cinema), capable of giving a voice to moviegoers, crucial to the survival of the industry, of the exhibition and, therefore, to the very life of cinema.
The Kinéo Award was presented for the first time at the 59th Venice International Film Festival on September 1, 2002, and on that occasion began to address crucial issues of specific periods, such as the relationship between Cinema and Industry in the international conference “Cinema in the Business World.”.
The following year, again in Venice during the Film Festival, Kinéo brought together the greatest experts in international film promotion and marketing in the conference “Cinema, Marketing and New Media”, in collaboration with advertising agencies, investors, media centers and the major players in the institutions and industry of the sector.
This year, the Kinéo Award celebrates its 20th anniversary in Venice and its 19th year of awarding. Born as an Italian film award voted by the public to support Italian cinema and theaters, over the years it has broadened its horizons, opening up to the international audiovisual sector, fostering encounters between artists from around the world. It has established two awards that reflect the film industry's commitment to environmental protection and civil and human rights: the Green&Blue Award and the Movie for Humanity Award. It has worked internationally on promotion, collaborating, for example, on the week of events for the Honorary Award to Lina Wertmüller at the Oscars ceremony in Los Angeles, and has continued to explore themes of cinema and audiovisual art. Also in Venice, in 2020, Kinéo promoted the seminar on the present and future of the audiovisual industry with the seminar “How a Video Can Change the World” and this year it will address the theme of digitalization in the future of the industry with the seminar “Challenging the Digital Deluge”

Moderator: Jacopo Chessa, DDirector of the Veneto Film Commission
“Mila” is a war story told from the perspective of a little girl. A little girl who embodies all the little victims of conflict around the world. Inspired by the director's mother's experiences, Cinzia Angelini, during the bombings of the Second World War. .
In the film, an animated short, Mila's character represents the best of humanity. Even though she has lost everything—her family, her home, and she's just a child—she still clings to hope. With that hope, and with the help of those who, like her, have lost everything, she imagines a better future, toward which she walks, led by an inconsolable stranger who saves her. Mila's eyes speak of pain, hope, and rebirth.
“Mila” was produced thanks to the heroic efforts of an international team of 350 volunteers coming from over 35 countries. Through a unique online collaboration that included dozens of volunteers and sponsors, PepperMax Films, Pixel Cartoon, IbiscusMedia and then culminated in substantial support from Cinesite and Aniventure, Mila was able to tell her story.

MME – Movie Making Experience is a high-level training course dedicated to the art of short filmmaking. Eight full-time days in which selected participants, grouped into teams based on their skills (direction, screenwriting, acting), will create a short film from concept to production. The entire experience will take place as a competition, in which educational activities will be complemented by an internal contest among the participating teams. The short films produced will be screened and voted on during the final awards ceremony and then presented to the selection committees of MME's partners. The theoretical and practical courses in acting, directing, and screenwriting will use professional equipment and will be taught by teachers and professionals from the world of theater and film. The entire course will take place at the Francesco Fabbri Foundation in Pieve di Soligo, Treviso. MME is an opportunity to study, work, and network with professionals, giving participants the opportunity to experience the "set tribe." Has the relationship between humans and the environment changed? Has the pandemic accelerated awareness of this relationship? The 2021 edition of the contest proposes "Intimacy and Margin" as its theme, inviting participants to explore whether and how the way we inhabit and think about space has changed as individual spheres of action shrink and take on new forms. Space, the environment, both inside and outside of us. Intimacy and margin. What are we missing? What do we feel deprived of? What have we learned to appreciate? Has the environmental emergency that has been screaming in our faces for years been addressed with awareness? In an environment where nature predominates (Pieve di Soligo and its surroundings – Treviso), we will tell stories by connecting with our surroundings.

Veneto Film Commission adopts the Green Film protocol
By: Veneto Film Commission
Speakers: Jacopo Chessa Director of the Veneto Film Commission, Luca Ferrario Head of Trentino Film Commission, Richard Guolo Director of Innovation and Development Area, Arpa Veneto
Moderator: Luigi Bacialli President of the Veneto Film Commission
Since 2019, T-Green Film, developed by the Trentino Film Commission, has evolved into a tool that can also be used in other territorial contexts, becoming a Green Film.
A tool designed for film funds, film commissions, broadcasters, or other organizations that want to encourage film and TV series producers to work in an environmentally friendly manner. This tool guides producers to work more sustainably.
A brand that certifies environmental sustainability for audiovisual productions. A network of organizations working in coordination to implement strategies and tools for sustainable cinema and to jointly deliver training activities.
Production companies filming a film or TV series in Trentino, or in recognized Italian and European regions, can adopt the Green Film guidelines, which guide them toward a more sustainable approach to their business. The practices listed in the guidelines optimize energy consumption and transportation, manage material selection, catering, and waste management, and communicate sustainability.
An external body, usually the Provincial or Regional Agency for Environmental Protection and Prevention, will verify the production phases and ensure compliance with the measures. If the film obtains certification, the delegated body (film commission) will confirm an additional contribution to reward environmental protection.
Since 2021, the Veneto Film Commission has decided to adopt Green Film, a protocol also recognized by the Veneto Region in assigning points for access to the production support fund.

Euganea Film Tour it is the development of a path that has seen the involvement of Veneto Region, the OGD Terme and Colli, the University of Padua, ETIFOR, The Municipality of Monselice and organizations in the Euganean area with the aim of creating new tourist products and experiences in Padua and the Euganean Hills, developing several thematic areas such as film tourism.
Euganea Film Tour was born from the Cult-CreaTE project, financed by the Interregional Cooperation Programme Interreg Europe 2014-2020 which aims to strengthen the synergy between the tourism system and the cultural-creative businesses present in the Veneto and in the other regions involved, and is curated by Euganea Movie Movement with the patronage of the Veneto Film Commission.
The project's outcome is the creation of four film tourism trails that wind through the natural and artistic beauties of the Euganean Hills Regional Park. The project's development process begins with Monselice which will become the “film-tourist capital” of the Euganean Hills, using the spaces of Villa Pisani as a reference point for tourist information, a starting point for film tourist routes and a space dedicated to in-depth studies of the films and TV series filmed in our area.
The work of mapping and collecting data regarding cinema was carried out in collaboration with Giulia Lavarone and Farah Polato, professors at the University of Padua and representatives of the group Cinelands, and researcher Laura Cesaro, are engaged in researching and studying the relationship between cinema and tourism. This was followed by the creation of itineraries of varying lengths and difficulty levels, to be explored by bicycle or car.
The itineraries are available on the web app euganeafilmtour.it, a user-friendly tool for exploring the project's content. The web app features an interactive map showing the tour's stops, and a series of in-depth articles about the films shot in the Euganean Hills are available to everyone, including images and videos of the scenes and locations used. For each film and TV series, there are trailers, synopses, technical data, and a special section called "Relationship with the Territory," which contextualizes the film within the tourist attractions of the Hills.
