Towards sustainable film production in the Netherlands

The increasing pressures on the environment cause every industry to (re)consider its attribution to climate change. This includes the film and television industry whose environmental footprint is massive. The production and distribution of media content consumes a vast amount of energy, creates a lot of waste and emits a large quantity of CO2.

This research project explores the possibilities in moving towards more sustainable film production in the Netherlands. It entails probing into best practices in Europe and across, focus groups with various Dutch film producers and pilot studies. Based on the evaluation of the pilot studies the project will provide recommendations to the Netherlands film fund on how to stimulate sustainable film production.

Creative processes in a data-driven television industry

For the television industry, viewing data have always been crucial for decisions about the production and renewal of television series. While ratings are still relevant for linear television broadcasters, streaming services know much more about their users than how many people are watching at a give time. They gather and analyze various kinds of user and viewing data with the promise to enhance the entertainment experience of their consumers by matching user tastes with content. While the collection and utilization of data has been criticized by various scholars, this research project focuses on how data are actually used in decision-making processes on a local/micro-level.

This ethnographic research project explores how viewing data are negotiated within the different teams of a Dutch streaming service, how they are used in the communication with television producers and screenwriters, and what producers and screenwriters do with this information about their viewers.
