Green Film Shooting magazine, published in German and English, has been informing professionals of environmentally friendly solutions for the film and media industry in Germany and abroad since 2013. The range of topics runs from the pre-production, filming, and post-production of film and TV productions as well as animated movies to distribution in cinemas as well as on digital platforms. Digital applications require huge energy and resource demands in data centers, which, with the advent of artificial intelligence, is increasing significantly.
Green Film Shooting focuses on technical developments that increase energy efficiency. These include hybrid systems, energy-efficient lighting, and environmentally friendly mobility solutions, such as fuel cell-powered vehicles. Other topics are the application of the circular economy on film sets through the reuse of set construction materials, props, and costumes, as well as reusable tableware. Vegetarian and vegan catering is also playing an increasingly important role on film sets. The first vegan-catered Hollywood film was Avatar: The Way of Water (2022).
Green Film Shooting also presents numerous opportunities for environmentally friendly approaches in cinemas, such as reusable solutions and unpackaged snacks from organic farms for the concession stand. As innovators have shown, renewable energy in cinema operations enables cuts in operating expenses as well as reductions in carbon footprints.
Green Film Shooting is distributed throughout Europe. It also has a readership in the US, Canada, South America, Africa, and Australia. For many filmmakers, Green Film Shooting serves as a source of inspiration as well as a basis for sustainability. The print edition of Green Film Shooting is published annually on the occasion of the Berlin International Film Festival, and it is distributed throughout the year at international film festivals, trade fairs, and conferences, as well as at workshops and lectures.
On the occasion of the COP21 in Paris in November 2015, Green Film Shooting produced the ECO-COP special edition, which was published in English and French versions. As a host, Green Film Shooting presents conferences, panel discussions as well as eco-talks at international film festivals in Berlin and Cannes. The portfolio also includes seminars, workshops, and lectures at industry events and universities throughout Europe.
In 2019, Green Film Shooting was awarded an Ecoprofit Certificate by the Minister for Environment and Energy, City of Hamburg and is a member of the Environment Partnership Hamburg. Green Film Shooting is a recipient of the German Sustainability Award, which is awarded by the Council for Sustainable Development.
