Sustainability hits the office
Panel: Sustainable Filmmaking” in Venlo, Netherlands. On 11 January 2020, because of the relevance of the topic, the organisers of the Limburg Film Festival invited producers from three countries and stakeholders from the media industry to join a panel of experts at the Museum Van Bommel Van Dam for the very first time.
The expert Sustainability Consultant is regularly invited to give lectures and is playing a pioneering role in this area in the film industry.
But what do offices have to do with eco-friendly media production? Actually, a great deal – because everything from the initial brainstorming to the acquisition and financing, as well as the filming with the production office as a base and through to the editing suites, a large proportion of film production is office-based. The editors and distributors also work indoors. The cross-industry issue of green offices in sustainable buildings is therefore just as important here.
That is why CSMM – architecture matters is also supporting the media industry in this area.
