Anotace

Animation and sustainability relate to each other on three levels. Firstly, ‘green filming’ where the carbon footprint of making an animated film is in the center of attention. But how do we study, understand, and define the carbon footprint of an animated text? How does international legislature change in favor of ‘green filming’? What data are accessible to us when researching animation production from this perspective? Secondly, sustainability dwells in the concept of ‘green storytelling’. In this time of climactic upheaval and in a world where many of us consume hours of audiovisual material daily, agitated debates take place about the potential of film (including animation) in making a difference through content proofing. Imagining, showing, narrating an environmentally viable future … Where do these debates take place? What are the emerging models in this sphere? What have become the cliches and the major challenges in taking these debates further? Finally, the most mysterious and elusive level is that of consumption. How do we translate our modes of consuming audiovisual content into figures and modify our practices to become more sustainable? This seminar will provide an opportunity to discuss these questions in link with several prime examples of contemporary mainstream and independent animation.
