ABOUT US
Green Screen is a Caribbean environmental film festival dedicated to using the power of storytelling to inspire climate action and sustainable development across the region.
Each year, filmmakers, activists, and communities come together to explore pressing environmental and social issues – from food security to biodiversity conservation – through powerful, regional and international films. Curating screenings, competitions, and community events, Green Screen amplifies Caribbean voices and champions the stories that promote planetary well-being. The festival was created by the Trinidad and Tobago based NGO Sustain T&T in 2011.
