Sustainability Impacts of Convergent Technologies in the UK Creative Industries

A film still from The Great Endeavour, directed and designed by Liam Young, 2024. The image shows an aerial view of a large solar farm in a desert landscape. Rows of solar panels are arranged in a grid pattern, with some sections appearing darker and others lighter, possibly due to the angle of sunlight or different types of panels. The ground is sandy and dotted with sparse vegetation. There is a bright reflection of sunlight near the centre of the image.
