Challenges to Social Sustainability in the Growing World of Sustainable Filmmaking: A Practitioner Roundtable
In this practitioner roundtable, sustainability experts from the private and public spheres across Europe and the UK respond and interact regarding questions about social sustainability, diversity, and inclusion within the production cultures of sustainable filmmaking. As experts and experienced workers across various phases of the development, production, and post-production phases, these contributors offer key insights around the dynamics of so…
Environmental Communication Special Issue: “Environmental Media at the Intersections”
Tech Dude Vs Environmental Crisis: White Masculinity and Technofetishism in the Anglo-American Eco-documentary
In this investigation of the popular American and Anglophone environmental documentary (or eco-documentary) from the last two decades, I merge environmental media studies, race and gender studies, intersectional environmental justice studies, cultural studies of representation, narrative and formal analysis, and industry analysis to conceptualize and deconstruct a guiding industry and textual formula – or genre, as I argue – at the forefront of e…
ICT environmentalism and the sustainability game
Over the past three decades, corporate branding has trended strongly towards environmental conscientiousness and green rhetoric, often heralded under the term “sustainability” – a broad and mutable rhetorical strategy that not only serves industry self-interest but is mobilized by civil society actors as well. This tension is especially apparent in the information communication technologies (ICT) sector. Employing Wittgenstein’s concept of the la…
The world wide web of carbon: Toward a relational footprinting of information and communications technology's climate impacts
The climate impacts of the information and communications technology sector-and Big Data especially-is a topic of growing public and industry concern, though attempts to quantify its carbon footprint have produced contradictory results. Some studies argue that information and communications technology's global carbon footprint is set to rise dramatically in the coming years, requiring urgent regulation and sectoral degrowth. Others argue that inf…
Young Adults’ Reactions and Engagement with Short-form Videos on Sea Level Rise
This study examines young South Floridians’ perceptions of visual elements and four generic types of engagement identified via a novel interdisciplinary methodology (Vaughan, H., & Johns, L. N. [2021]. Beyond frame analysis: Formal analysis and genre typology in the communication study of short-form environmental video messaging. Journal of Environmental Media, 2(1), 55–78. https://doi.org/10.1386/jem_00040_1) combining formal analysis and genre …
Film and Television Production in the Age of Climate Crisis: Towards a Greener Screen
Beyond frame analysis: Formal analysis and genre typology in the communication study of short-form environmental video messaging
As connected platforms such as Twitter, Instagram and TikTok rise in popular use, communication strategies are forced to grow more condensed and to be transmitted primarily across digital screens. Online short-form video has consequently become a primary format for environmental communication, though research on digital communication remains largely limited to frame analysis and discussions of print and still images. Filling a need in current sch…
A Green Intervention in Media Production Culture Studies: Environmental Values, Political Economy and Mobile Production
This article develops an interdisciplinary theoretical method for assessing the environmental values articulated and practised by dispersive or ‘mobile’ film production practices, aiming toward applicable strategies to make media practices more environmentally conscientious and sustainable. Providing a social and environmental study of the local relational values, political economy and ecosystem ramifications of runaway productions and film incen…

Digital Heritage and the Anthropocene: Media Use in Site-Specific Archaeological Installations in Lazio, Italy

Mutants We All: Jean-Louis Schefer and our Cinematic Civilization Hunter Vaughan (bio) “On these machines that turn, leap, churn and batter...a curving of the universe has produced itself” (Schefer 1997: 65) Atoms and dust, tossed by the churning of wheels; the ticking of clocks and grinding machines, producing movement as the debris issued forth from the recording of time; an ever-changing series of universes appearing and disappearing, in which…
