Bibliography and Filmography

There are two very useful film resource lists on online. These are:
Bullfrog’s Environmental Film Catalog
Environmental Communication Network’s Filmography


The following bibliography lists most of the key works in Ecomedia Studies. By no means is the list complete. However, it should provide a good starting point for anyone interested in exploring the scholarship. Please send suggested additions to ecomediastudies@gmail.com.
