Description
Recently, European, UK and the US screen sectors have led the charge in creating meaningful behavioural change around sustainable production practices, and now Australia is not far behind. Agnieszka Moody (BFI); Helen Panckhurst (Matchbox Pictures), Sacha Gregson (ABC), and Catherine Bradbury (Fremantle Media Australia) join Dr Belinda Burns (Screen Queensland) for a candid conversation about the benefits and challenges of greening our screens. Each panelist will unpack how they have embraced the ‘Green Is Good’ ethos and what they have learned along the way – from surprise cost benefits and the power of collective bargaining to the importance of bold leadership. This session will provide practical examples of how screen productions and companies can make small changes that will have big positive impacts for our planet.
