About the programme

The BFI Sustainable Screen programme 2023-2026 is designed to support both BFI National Lottery awardees – who are now asked to apply the principle of environmental sustainability to their funded activity – and the wider screen sector. Julie’s Bicycle is delivering the Beyond Production strand, focusing on exhibitors, screen archives, sector support bodies and education, skills, training and research organisations. BAFTA albert is delivering the Production strand, focusing on filmmaking, production and development.

“The screen sector’s ability to act on the climate crisis is crucial for the industry to thrive. It must adapt and build resilience.

The sector has a unique role to play. It has the ability to tell stories which shine a light on the issues we face and the solutions at hand. It can inspire positive action across its audiences and communities.”
