On 2 December, Tim Wagendorp will introduce the policies that the Flanders Audiovisual Fund (VAF) implemented to reduce the carbon footprint of the creative industries in Flanders.
The environmental footprint of the film and television industry is massive. The production of media content consumes a vast amount of energy, creates an enormous volume of waste and emits a large quantity of CO2. In the context of society's increasing ecological awareness, various players within the media industries have recently started to address their environmental impact.
Sustainability
Film festivals are reflecting on their carbon emission, and industry meetings and panel discussions are scheduled to exchange ideas about green film production and distribution. Wagendorp will discuss different methods and tools that the VAF uses and describe how sustainability is put into practice. Where in the production process does sustainability start? Which measurements are ecologically worthwhile? And how can sustainability be measured?
Greening Media Industries
Greening Media Industries is an initiative of the media research group Media Industries, Infrastructures and Institutions and the NECS workgroup Sustainable Media.
