Sustainable audiovisual production in Argentina: Action plan for a green future

Workshops

The current situation of our globalized world demands for us to change the ways in which we produce goods and services in every sector. Audiovisual production is no exception to this. We can’t avoid the transformation of the different ways to produce audiovisual works in all possible formats and every professional involved is crucial  to minimize its negative impact on society and the planet.

The purpose of this activity is to develop an action plan that can be implemented as strategic framework for audiovisual activity in Argentina to incorporate sustainability criteria as a base for such a necessary transformation. Relying on the insights of different professionals from the Argentine audiovisual industry (representing society and the private and public sector) and after a careful analysis of the current situation of our country,  we will produce a realistic plan, taylored to address and highlight the urgent actions needed for  our country’s audiovisual industry to care for the planet and people without neglecting its profitability.

This semi-structured activity, moderated by Paloma Andrés Urrutia will focus on finding answers to the following questions through dialog and the participation of several organizations: 

  • Argentina’s case: where do we stand today? – An analysis of the country’s current sustainable production.
  • Who are we? – Mapping different representatives of the audiovisual situation and their ability to be agents of change.
  • What are our shared goals? – Interactive definition of the global goals for the industry’s transformation.
  • Where do we start? – Selecting the necessary first steps of the transformation process.

Organized by: International Environmental Film Festival – FINCA, Fiction Changing World – FCW and Cultural Center of Spain in Buenos Aires – CCEBA.
