Discussion organized by the Bündnis 90/Die Grünen faction in the Bavarian State Parliament
Film and television in this country still feature plenty of stereotypes and little that is inclusive or diverse. This is according to people who have long been campaigning for more diversity. Their claim, however, is borne out by studies such as that on “Diversity in Film” co-funded by the Green Party faction in the Bavarian State Parliament. Soon diversity will be a standard for giving out Academy Awards, or Oscars. How can we truly achieve diversity — of audiences and content, in front of and behind the camera? A discussion with funding institutions, broadcasters, and creative professionals.
