🌱 Imaginaria: a festival that respects the night and the spaces that host it
Imaginaria comes alive at sunset, among cloisters, gardens, and squares that transform into spaces for viewing and gathering. A festival held outdoors, immersed in the evening air, naturally takes on the responsibility of respecting the surrounding environment.
This is why sustainability is an integral part of how we imagine and organize the festival.
🌍 A festival in harmony with the environment
Outdoor venues naturally reduce the need for climate control and energy consumption. We use efficient, low-impact lighting that accompanies screenings without altering the magic of the nighttime setting.
Every technical choice is designed to minimize impact while enhancing the quality of the experience.
🚶 Gentle mobility and evening routes
Festival locations are easily accessible on foot, by bike, or via public transport.
We invite the audience to experience the evenings of Imaginaria as a journey: a slow exploration of the city streets, discovering the city in a sustainable way.
For guests coming from further away, we recommend travel solutions and eco-conscious accommodations.
♻️ Responsible materials and reuse
We reduce printed materials by prioritizing digital tools; when printing is necessary, we use recycled and certified paper.
Outdoor setups are designed for reuse in future editions, reducing waste and resource consumption.
🍇 Local and seasonal food
We collaborate with local partners who promote seasonal, regional products and offer vegetarian or vegan options.
We reduce packaging and encourage the audience to use reusable containers and water bottles, supported by conveniently placed refill stations.
🌀 Circular economy
Official festival merchandise follows sustainable principles: we choose recyclable materials or products from responsible supply chains.
Every item is designed for a long life, not to become waste after a few days.
🎥 Cinema, environment, and community
Environmental awareness also informs our programming:
-
films and shorts dedicated to ecological themes
-
talks and discussions on the relationship between humans, nature, and the future
-
activities designed to involve the community in a shared journey of awareness
Watching a film under the open sky reminds us how every action resonates in the world we inhabit.
📊 Transparency and continuous improvement
Every year, we collect data, measure our impact, and set new goals.
Publishing the Sustainability Report allows everyone — audiences, artists, and partners — to follow our journey and contribute to building an increasingly responsible festival.
💚 A shared choice
Sustainability is not a result, but a daily commitment.
We invite our audience, artists, and the community to join us on this path, because every action — a reusable bottle, an extra step on foot, mindful reuse — helps imagine a lighter, more attentive Imaginaria, closer to the world we wish to leave behind.
