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.
