Keystone. [Film screening and panel discussion]

Kellie, Callum

Abstract

Within the North Sea energy industry, a transition is slowly taking place. Starting from a place of purely extractive energy production, a journey towards net zero is underway. Simultaneously, on-shore renewable energy production is also increasing, turning Scottish moorland - traditionally used for field sports - into spaces inhabited by wind turbines. Featuring contributions from industry stakeholders and academics within the field of renewable production, this film looks to explore the shared challenges and difficulties in moving towards net zero, and reaching the Scottish Government's ambitious targets for renewable energy production. This film screening was delivered at: Energy Ethics 2023: Financing the Future (6th – 8th June 2023, St Andrews); Rayany Creators Film Festival (17th – 18th February 2024, Aberdeen). It was shortlisted for "Best Documentary" and "Best Cinematography" at the Rayany Creators Film Festival, and won "Best Documentary".
