Sustainability

for visitors

Youth Film Festival Antwerp and the on tour locations are accessible by public transport, on foot or by bicycle. We ask our visitors not to come by car if possible.

On our website, we clearly communicate the many transport options to the different locations and the nearest bicycle stations.

for guests

Youth Film Festival Antwerp invites as many guests from Belgium and the Netherlands as possible and encourages them to come by train. We only book plane tickets for international guests if this is the only option.

for employees

We ask our staff and volunteers to come by bicycle or public transportation as well.

• Youth Film Festival Antwerp does not use disposable plastic in the festival café or in its organisation of events. We try to buy as much reusable material as possible and use it later in the same form or function, or by upcycling the product.
• Our printwork always has a limited edition, is printed on recycled paper and is distributed as efficiently as possible. Any surpluses are reused. Our catalogue is fully digital. We encourage ticket buyers to use their digital tickets.
• Youth Film Festival buys local, fair-trade and sustainable material as much as possible. We also borrow material from partners and other film festivals, and lend out our own material.

When Youth Film Festival Antwerp manages the venue itself, it opts for local catering with vegetarian, vegan and organic options and reusable materials.

In terms of content, Youth Film Festival Antwerp also pursues sustainability. In our programming of films, games and installations, we pay attention to ecological and inclusive content.
