GreenScreen Environmental Media Program

Speak out on behalf of our Planet
Participate in the GreenScreen Environmental Media Program


GreenScreen is an environmental media production program that brings together undergraduate and graduate students in the arts, humanities, social sciences, and sciences to engage environmental issues in Santa Barbara through artistic production. The goal of the program is not only to increase awareness about the environment, but to expand the ways that these issues are represented and communicated. This involves working across disciplines, artistic genres, and developing a critical approach to environmental media production. The program is open to students from all majors.

Students interested in participating in GreenScreen during 2010-2011 are invited to enroll this Fall 2010 in Film and Media Studies 183, Films of the Natural and Human Environment (space allowing). In relation to documentary and fiction film screenings (CHINATOWN, NO IMPACT MAN, TROUBLE THE WATER, WALL-E, and more) and a multi-disciplinary array of approaches and issues, this course presents students with the conceptual tools to critically analyze environmental media works, and will offer an opportunity for students to develop their own environmental media projects in the course itself in an extra two-unit video production "lab section."

Students with video projects in development may apply for entrance into the anticipated Winter Quarter video production course, Film and Media Studies 118.
