A global sustainability expert, Wayne Visser, Ph.D., is a fellow at the University of Cambridge’s Institute for Sustainability Leadership and holds the chair in Sustainable Transformation Antwerp Management School in Belgium. He is the co-presenter of the documentary, “Closing the Loop,” which explores five key strategies for achieving circularity—reduce, reuse, recycle, renew and reinvent—by showcasing examples from Europe, Latin America and Africa. The documentary features insights from experts from the World Economic Forum and the Universities of Cambridge and Harvard. One Earth Film Festival publicist Cassandra West interviewed Visser via a Zoom chat recently.
Putting the Care in Collaboration
One Earth Film Festival takes particular care to attend to the collaborative potential between film, venue and community when planning screening events. The match doesn't happen haphazardly. The sensitive pairing of particular films with venues and communities surfaced again and again during conversations with three venue partners—Elio DeArrudah at Universidad Popular, Liz Lyon at Plant Chicago, and Connie Spreen at the Experimental Station.
