The Green Media Production Network (GPN) provides a platform for collaboration between academic research and industry practice. The aim is to facilitate dialogue the humanities and social/environmental sciences and media industry professionals to generate better understanding of mutually beneficial means of collaboration to encourage more environmentally responsible and sustainable media production initiatives.
GPN explores how environmentally sound media practices are connected to local cultural values, media industry and economic policy dynamics, and climate change challenges.
The network is a symbiotic support system, at once learning from, synthesizing, and offering assistance to film and television professionals, environmental advocates and policymakers, and emergent scholars and artists in the screen arts.
GPN is supported by a two-year Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) network grant. It traces a global diversity of practices in environmental screen media production and policy from European and UK stakeholders to major global film production hubs in Latin America, India and East Asia.
