In the story, scientists attempt to get the climate crisis under control with geoengineering. However, this is no longer a science fiction scenario, as research has long been conducted into how the climate can be manipulated using technical methods such as the use of aerosols in the stratosphere to shield the sun.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-head__media columns twelve m-twelve\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HY2h3rlE_8I?si=MgKkSMi58gCd1WDf\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>The use of new technical developments and their practical application in filmmaking will be the focus of the panel discussion &#8216;Green energy supplies on set: Energy efficient and eco-friendly solutions.&#8217; Speakers include Heidi May, who has worked as a sustainability coordinator on various major productions in Australia, and internationally renowned cinematographer and <a href=\"https:\/\/cinegreen.com\/\">CineGreen<\/a> founder Maher Maleh.

The discussion &#8216;Don&#8217;t waste the waste: Eco design and the implementation of circular economy in film production&#8217; is about sharing experiences, practical solutions, and reality checks. Alissa Aubenque, project manager at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecoprod.com\">Ecoprod<\/a>, will report on initiatives and projects in France that enable the multiple use of set constructions. British set designer Blair Barnette will provide insight into her methods for implementing reuse in a time- and cost-saving manner. Depending on the production and client, the principle of circular economy in film production can reach its limits.
