Green Production & Film Ecology Laboratory

Examines the environmental impacts of filmmaking and production, exploring how resource management, production organisation and sustainability inform project decisions. Studies of crews, locations and post-production workflows consider the relationships between environmental objectives, creative needs, working conditions and costs.

Research & creative directions

• Environmental assessment: recording and evaluating transport, energy, accommodation, sets and equipment use.
• Sustainable art departments and circular materials: purchasing, sharing, reuse and recycling of sets, costumes and props.
• Sustainable production and collaboration: environmental decisions in schedules, locations, supply chains and workflows.
• Film ecology and expression: environmental themes on screen and links between production practice and creative content.
