The Film and Television industry is built upon telling stories and creating worlds to entertain, educate, and inform. But these on-screen worlds come at a cost for the real world, and historically these productions have had major negative implications on the environment.

Screening Green explores the impact productions have had, and the ways in which we are working now, and can improve moving forward, to minimise this effect on the environment.

Featuring interviews from leaders in sustainability and production, join us as we provide criticism of past practice, insights into current practice, and action we all need to take moving forward to reach this goal.
