BSC Expo: Don’t miss the ‘Thinking creatively about sustainability’ panel

Building on BSC Expo 2024’s eco ethos, the ‘Thinking creatively about sustainability’ panel session will highlight the positive steps that individuals and the wider industry are taking to support productions and crew take positive actions around climate change. From collaboration between departments through to the implementation of battery and hybrid solutions that support productions to drive down carbon emissions on set, the panel will share their creative sustainability approaches.

Taking place at 2pm Friday 16 February in the BSC Expo Seminar Theatre, the session will highlight the sustainability approaches adopted in relation to power – a key driver on carbon on set – and lessons learnt by the stellar panel below…

• Mattias Nyberg BSC, Cinematographer and BSC Sustainability Committee Co-Chair
• Julian White, Gaffer
• Jamie D. Ramsay SASC, Cinematographer
• Karl Liegis, Head of Production, 60Forty Films
• Victoria Stokes, Sustainable Production Manager, BAFTA albert
• Laurence Johnson, Sustainability Manager, Film London

British Cinematographer’s Editor-in-Chief, Zoe Mutter will chair the discussion.

The British Society of Cinematographers (BSC) is determined to play its part in addressing the climate emergency and in line with the Paris agreement, limit global warming to 1.5C degrees over pre-industrial levels. Working in collaboration with other industry organisations, the BSC will challenge the film and TV industry to put sustainability at the heart of the creative process. The BSC Sustainability Committee was formed to help play individual and collective parts in this vital work.
