Description

Description (EN):

The Barents region has become an attractive destination for film recordings, partly because of the exotic beauty and natural wealth of the region, and because climate change is changing this landscape dramatically. One major challenge produced by increased film production is the increased pressure on the unique natural environments of the region. In order to preserve natural ecosystems and the communities that depend on them, a higher standard for sustainability in film productions needs to be established and disseminated. Green Ice Camera is a project between Russia, Finland, Sweden and Norway to collectively create protocols for sustainable media production and a database of creative companies in the region, to promote creative collaboration online, and to make it easier to hire local crew members. Protocols will be developed in working groups established locally in each country. Workshops with both industry practitioners and sustainability experts will ensure that these protocols are both realistic and create impacts. Projects, following the protocols can obtain a certificate and receive an award at a Green Screen festival in Kirkenes in September 2021. Criteria will include carbon emissions, pollution, ecological disruption (damage to landscape, vegetation, and stress on wildlife), and community inclusion.

Achievements (EN):

The project established a network of film and sustainability experts in four countries of the Barents region and worldwide. A first edition of the Green Ice Camera framework was published for sustainable media production. It is available in 5 languages: (ENG, NO, RU, FI, SE). This framework makes use of best practice and insights from regional and international guidelines and has a wide set of references and contacts for further information. The project established an interactive digital platform for planning and collaboration in two languages, ENG and RU. The Green Ice Camera platform includes a map to find regional collaborators and recruit media workers as well as an Action Planner to make a customized sustainability plan for any production. Green Ice Camera has worked with regional festivals, labor unions, and other media associations to raise awareness and increase collaborations throughout the Barents region and beyond.

Expected Results (EN):

New protocols for sustainable media production, along with a higher degree of collaboration between creative companies, aim to limit the negative environmental impact of media production and help media producers to raise environmental awareness, increase the degree of recycling of materials and supplies, and contribute to reduced carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions. Project is also making it easier to hire local crew members.
