Summary/Abstract: This article considers the relative paucity of environmental fiction films in relation to documentarieswith similar thematic concerns. It engages theories of censorship, in particular, the processes ofinformal and prior censorship, to better understand the myriad of forces that shape the possibilities,parameters and limitations for contemporary environmentally focused cinematic narratives. It isargued that while informal modes of censorship can be difficult to discern in their everyday operation,the effects can be highly significant, influencing not only content but also form and genre.
