Description
Dr Rebecca Harrison and Syu Mohammed talk about the Environmental Impact of Filmmaking Open Societal Challenge, where they look at the environmental impact of filmmaking, with a particular focus on... props and costumes.

The OU’s Open Societal Challenges Programme aims to tackle some of the most important societal challenges of our time through impact-driven research. The Programme’s focus on the themes of Tackling Inequalities, Living Well and Sustainability aligns well with the OU’s mission to be open to people, places, methods and ideas. The Programme’s aim is to apply excellent research by OU academics to some of the most pressing challenges facing people across the UK and worldwide to transform lives and drive societal change.
