Eleventh Anniversary of the Awards felicitates its winners at a gala Award Ceremony at Merchant Taylors’ Hall in London London November 29, 2022: The much-anticipated Award Ceremony for the tve Global Sustainability Film Awards 2022 (tve GSFA) was conducted at a special gala event, which took place at the Merchant Taylors’ Hall in the city of London on November 29, 2022. The prestigious awards which are now in its eleventh year announced the winners of its five competitive film categories along with the Founder’s Award which is a special nominated category. The award ceremony and gala dinner was well attended by distinguished filmmakers, sustainability experts, leaders from business houses and non-profit organizations, film aficionados and other eminent guests who enthusiastically applauded the winners of the tve GSFA 2022. The tve GSFA which is one of the most prestigious international film awards focused on global sustainability, rewards films both on their creativity as well as on the sustainability impact. This year it had received more than 70 film submissions worldwide as entries for the five competitive film categories. A diverse and eminent international jury panel drawn from the fields of sustainability and filmmaking adjudicated on the entries to first come up with three or four shortlisted films for each category and then announced the final winners. The winning films for the various categories of the tve GSFA 2022 are as follows: Competitive Award Categories: Transforming Society: Road to Fulfilment (Phoenix Film, UAE) Greener Living: Bad Blood (VICE Media, India) Documentary Impact: Eating Our Way to Extinction (Broxstar Productions Ltd, UK) Young Filmmaker: Changing Paradigms (Henry Smith, Australia) Digital Technology and AI for Sustainable Living: Age of Change: Circulor (Circulor, UK) Additionally, a special tve Trustee Choice Award was given to the film Water for Life from Green Hub, India. Nick Nuttall, chair of the jury for the tve GSFA 2022, praised the winners for their choice of themes that align with the seismic issues facing humanity and the planet. “The films we judged and awarded were undoubtedly inspiring but also told fascinating stories that reflect both the threats, and importantly the solutions, to climate change and the loss of animal and plant life up to how to build sustainable livelihoods,” he said. “The films we had the pleasure to view not only demonstrated creativity and quality but the fact that the answers to these multiple emergencies are emerging everywhere if only we choose to deploy them at scale,” said Nick, who is also a director and presenter of digital broadcaster We Don’t Have Time. Commenting at the tve GSFA Award Ceremony, Surina Narula, MBE, and founder of the tve Global Sustainability Film Awards said, “I would like to extend my congratulations to all the winners and finalists of the 11th edition of the tve Global Sustainability Film Awards. We had more than seventy films from twenty countries this year and the quality of the films participating in these awards is a matter of great satisfaction as this indicates the success we have had in getting more organizations and individuals to actively engage in the conversation on global sustainability over the last eleven years. We are delighted to have partnered with Merchant Taylors' Hall for hosting our Award Ceremony this year, and I would like to take the opportunity to thank all the participating filmmakers, our generous sponsors and our jury members who helped make this event a success." A highlight of the evening was the presentation of the tve GSFA 2022 Founder’s Award, a special nominated award given to a feature film that best tackles sustainability issues in a new and innovative way on the big screen. This year the award went to director Alex Pritz’s brilliant film The Territory for its immersive on-the-ground look at the tireless fight of the indigenous Uru-eu-wau-wau people against the encroaching deforestation brought by farmers and illegal settlers in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest. With awe-inspiring cinematography, the film vividly brings alive the struggles of a young Indigenous leader and his mentor who fight back in defence of their land and an uncontacted group living deep within the forest. Speaking on the occasion, Mei Sim Lai, OBE DL and Chair tve said, “We received 72 very high quality films from around the world for the tve GSFA 2022 and it was not an easy task for the Jury to first arrive at the 17 shortlisted films and eventually the 5 final category winners. Well done and congratulations to all the shortlisted filmmakers and the final winners. We are delighted to announce the winners this year at our Awards Ceremony and Gala Dinner at the Merchant Taylors’ Hall in the city of London. Since its inception eleven years back, the GSFA event each year has been tve's flagship initiative to raise funds to help tve with its important mission to make the world a greener, safer and better place for all using the Power of Film” The thought-provoking and glittering award ceremony showcased the excellent award-winning films and the viewpoints of world-wide leaders of global sustainability who graced the occasion. All the winning films at the eleventh anniversary of the tve Global Sustainability Film Awards brilliantly highlighted key elements of the current environmental crisis and suggested innovative and impactful solutions that need to be taken today to ensure a better and more sustainable future. The films were judged on five key judging criteria which included Creative Visualization, Engagement, Sustainability Relevance, Credibility and Impact. The main award sponsor this year was United Living and other sponsors and partners included Azad Ayub, Integrity International Group, We Don’t Have Time, Green Hub, crtve Development, UK-China Film Collab, and Reeble.

Our Head of Operations Karma Wangdi will be speaking at Nature in the Race to Zero on Earth Day April 2022. Like all other speakers at the event, He was asked to formulate a reply to the following question:“Decarbonizing our economies is a huge - and hugely important - challenge, deeply affecting all parts of our societies. What is the significance of mankind’s relationship with nature and the role of nature-based solutions in this transformation? ”Here is his reply:It is important for us to understand, at this crucial juncture in the climate debate, that if we do not look at solutions that are in synergy with nature we are facing a catastrophic future. At the same time, there is a huge need to bring about the right kind of progress into the marginalised societies across the world. This can only be achieved by not only leapfrogging into more nature-based solutions which are available but solutions also have to be provided for scaling these up to meet the needs of society. We, at tve, are constantly looking at trying to highlight companies and individuals who are trying to lead these changes. Register for the event: https://lnkd.in/dwGe2ycs
