Webinar: Diversity in Film
Marginalized people are often portrayed in a stereotypical way in film, both historically and in the contemporary film landscape. Among other things, attributing racist, queerphobic, and sexist imagery to characters from marginalized positions has become the norm. The result is that queer and non-white roles are often stereotypically cast and narrated. How discrimination is dealt with in productions can have an impact on viewers' experiences, and the viewing experiences of marginalized people are often not considered. In addition, the interplay of casting and scripting is often not considered, which tells us something about what is portrayed as the norm for society. In this webinar, participants will explore how internalized discriminatory assumptions influence production processes and discuss critical approaches to discrimination.
