In recent years we have seen a shift towards more eco-conscious filmmaking, as well as an emergence of organizations dedicated to helping lessen the industry’s environmental impact. Committed to the cause, Traveling Docs, a program fostered by 11 Creative Europe Desks, is led this year by the Greek Creative Europe Desk and hosted at the TDF. It brings a fresh perspective on sustainability issues; our panelists will share steps towards eco-friendly production, with the hope that it will inspire others to follow suit.
