sustainable cinema

An odyssey in harmony with nature

In Andanía, we believe that cinema is a powerful tool to raise awareness about the importance of sustainability. Therefore we promote Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the content of our film and in all stages of production.

​

This approach has technical and logistical challenges, which also stimulate our creativity and commitment to the planet.

THE RAFT

  • The great raft at the heart of the film, was built using only human power and sustainably sourced materials. For example:

    • The raft's crossbars require hardwood. To avoid felling primary forest trees, Andanía recovered old carob poles from demolished desert houses.

    • The ropes, 1200 metres, were braided with ropes recycled from the fishing industry.

Environmental Commitment

  • We only forge alliances with entities or people who have a demonstrable commitment to sustainability.

  • We film with a lean production team and take special care to avoid altering habitat or wildlife to reduce the impact of our production.

  • We use natural light as the main source of lighting.

  • We use rechargeable batteries only. During the journey we aspire to use renewable energy, including wind force as the only source of propulsion for the raft.

  • We minimize automotive transportation by implementing a minimal intervention base camp at the central location.

  • We implement recycling and composting to minimize waste generation.

​

  • We inform communities and local authorities about our film production and commitment to sustainability.

  • We hire local suppliers, contributing to the economic development of the communities where filming takes place.

  • We guarantee fair and safe working conditions.

  • We work closely with local communities in order to ensure respect for their traditions and cultural values.

  • We will calculate our carbon footprint and offset it through reforestation projects in the desert of Sechura and the Amazon, to contribute to the restoration of fragile ecosystems and biodiversity conservation.
