B2House

Directed by

Do we really know the chances to exploit the natural resources avoiding negative alternative energy sources in order to use environmental impacts on our territory? Putting a dinner together becomes an opportunity to realize which could be the requirements and principles needed to design an eco-sustainable house, and to find out how they produce energy conservation and savings as well as the increasing of dwellers comforts.

Use of rainwater, firewood, solar panels, garbage reuse and recycling, could be achievable targets for everybody; in fact all these activities do not inevitably mean a throwback, an elite phenomenon, a passing fancy. This video, made from some real experiences, shows images catching the charm and the opportunities but also the complexity of a case, the bio-housing, in constant development and ever more up-to-date.

About the Movie B2House

Scene/ries of sustainability

A course/competition to make a video on daily routine and imaginary life, pictured the subject of sustainable development from the environmental, economical and social point of view.

Second edition of SCENE/RIES OF SUSTAINABILITY shown within the International Festival CINEMAMBIENTE 2003.

This project has been devised to carry out effective works on environmental communication, offering a chance to all concerned people to express their original ideas related to environmental topics. The audiovisual tool has been chosen for its communicative impact.

Through five work groups who made five video-reports, SCENE/RIES OF SUSTAINABILITY has created the conditions of a training path to enhance the students/competitors experiences in the field of environmental sustainability and to supply all technical and cultural tools for the audiovisual making.

The five video-reports shoot the angle of people deeply rooted in our areas trying to yield even small changes; so they help the testing of new communication strategies to face complex problems of public interest.

SCENE/RIES OF SUSTAINABILITY is a pilot project promoted by Turin Territorial Laboratory for Environmental Education, M.A.P. Media Agency Province of Turin, Programming Service Sustainable Development and Waste of the Province of Turin, in collaboration with Coop Zenit Audiovisual Arts and CINEMAMBIENTE.
