Film Strike Strategy.

The Film Strike Strategy group envisions a Film and Television industry that supports its workers and the rest of society to #ImagineGreenNewWorlds.

While the Narrative Impact Research & Lobbying (NIRL) group helps us get better at telling ‘difficult’ stories, we are partnering with them to make impactful stories easier to tell.

We are building the case for new incentives for productions with a socio-ecological impact (in exchange of demonstrated efforts, for example through a new certification), at a scale that matches the stakes of the crisis. This could come from the industry itself (e.g. independent filmmakers, channels, commissioners), Ofcom in the UK and/or governments. We are finding out at what levels lie the greatest potential for success - a world where socio-ecological impacts are just as valued as audience ratings.

We also invite Film & TV industry professionals to come together in support of climate and ecological action during marches of solidarity.

Narrative Impact
Research & Lobbying.

The NIRL group works as a Film+Reading Club for filmmakers.

We know it's hard and confusing to understand living systems, from the effects of ocean acidification to imperfect democracy, let alone know how to engage audiences with this complexity and monitor our success. Evidence and best practice on the impact of stories and the media to change society exist, but tend to be dispersed, unknown and not always accessible to filmmakers.

This is why we are conducting a review of such resources, to inform our own practice and share our findings with others who want to make a difference (we are developing a podcast series). Part of our work seeks to identify the priority issues and solutions that deserve exploring in the public interest (including findings from political ecology, culture change and science communication studies), while another part focuses on reviewing impactful films and TV programmes.  

Content Production.

The Content Production group is composed by a body of diverse filmmakers with one common goal: create a microcosm of what we want to see our industry embody.

“What if Jacinda Ardern were President of the United States?”: FSFC’s first short film, directed by and staring Emily Corcoran.

Our goal is to forge original projects that carry relevant ecological messages for both the film and TV industry and general audiences.

We are currently developing a series of short projects from animation to documentaries, to support society's transition to more inclusive and sustainable practices.

Social Media.

The Social Media group focuses on raising awareness and publicity of Film Strike’s identity, projects and aims. 

Our channels support us in giving easy access to resources that can help filmmakers transform their stories and productions, and in establishing FSFC as an influential participant in the global conversation. 

In practice, we highlight stories, research and ideas from our project teams and translate them into online content - short films, articles, events and more. We also conduct targeted audience and industry research to help us connect, inform and engage effectively with other industry players.
