The glitz and glamour of showbusiness in the mainstream film festival circuit can sometimes detract from the true purpose of the event — the celebration of creative film-making. While the red carpets, the champagne parties, and the high admission prices may be good for grabbing headlines and driving profits, they may also prevent the dissemination of art to the audience. At the Amsterdam Independent Film Festival, we focus on film. The festival will bring independent artistic visions to an audience that demands a more fulfilling experience than the latest Hollywood fare.


For the 2021 edition the jury members got paid in the form of planting trees. Thanks to Oliver Guy-Watkins, Gabriela Forfota, Orly Nurany, Parisa Zandbaf, Gilles Elie Cohen, Nicolas Tiercelin, Pim Diepersloot and Vita Buivid, the Amsterdam Independent Film Festival was able to plant 500 trees in Nepal with the Eden Reforestation Project.

ABOUT TREEPLAN.ORG

Did you know: Trees are amazing organisms. Every tree captures carbon dioxide and generates oxygen for other people, plants, and animals on earth. Depending on the size and type of tree, a single mature tree can produce enough oxygen for up to 18 people!

​

Did you know: humanity destroys 18 million acres of forest every year. That’s billions of trees that are being wiped out year-after-year for building materials, paper manufacture, or to make room for cattle grazing or infrastructure development. At Treeplan.org, we want to turn that around. It’s our goal to be part of the solution, ensuring that healthy forests and abundant clean air are available for the coming generations.

​

Treeplan.org informs and motivates action. We spotlight meaningful reforestation projects from around the world and connect our visitors to initiatives that plant the right trees, in the right places, for lasting impact. Working with trusted partners such as Plant-for-the-Planet, in support of the United Nations Environment Programme, we help turn awareness into concrete action—so everyone can contribute to restoring forests and securing a livable future.
