Abstract

Film as a work of art and culture that can be performed with or without sound also means
that film is a mass communication medium that carries messages containing vital ideas to audiences
with great influence. Participatory media provides an important space for communities to capture social
issues. The film community has a wider range of story themes compared to the themes explored in
commercial cinema films. Thus, how does the film community accommodate in exploring
environmental themes? What is the desired long-term impact of efforts to accommodate these
environmental themes for society? using a qualitative method with in-depth interviews with 5 film
communities in Semarang, Solo, Magelang, and Temanggung, this study found that the film community
explored environmental themes in the production of film works, both fiction and documentary films,
focused discussions after the screening of documentary films , environmental conservation activities
associated with watching together, as well as environmental-themed film competitions.
