Demos (in A\u003ci\u003egainst the Anthropocene\u003c\/i\u003e, 2017): how do we find a way to address planetary harm and the issues it raises within the field of Film Studies? How do we construct a theoretical model that allows us to visualize the ecological transgressions brought about by the growth-model of capitalism which is heavily endorsed by mainstream narrative cinema? By turning to the model set out in Kate Raworth's book \u003ci\u003eDoughnut Economics \u003c\/i\u003e(2017) and adapting its fundamental principles to a study of narrative cinema, \u003ci\u003eFilm Ecology \u003c\/i\u003eproposes to show how, by using this model, we can usefully plot and investigate films according to criteria that are not genre\/star\/auteur-led, nor indeed embedded in anthropocentric theoretical models, but principles which are ecologically based. These arguments are brought to life with examples from mainstream narrative films such as \u003cem\u003eThe Giant\u003c\/em\u003e (1956), \u003cem\u003eMildred Pierce\u003c\/em\u003e (1945), \u003cem\u003eErin Brockovich\u003c\/em\u003e (2000), \u003cem\u003eWall Street\u003c\/em\u003e (1987), \u003cem\u003eHotel Rwanda\u003c\/em\u003e (2004), and \u003cem\u003eMissing Figures\u003c\/em\u003e (2016).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis approach will inspire film practitioners, film theorists, critics and analysts, film students and film lovers alike to consider how they might integrate this Doughnut model into their thinking or work as part of their process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSusan Hayward\u003c\/strong\u003e is Emeritus Professor of Cinema Studies at Exeter University.
