This group discussion focuses on issues related to the underrepresentation of diversity in cinema production, focusing on systemic exclusion to financing, access to professionalization and safety on sets. More than twenty filmmakers from communities that identify as Indigenous, LGBTQ2S+, from ethnocultural diversity or individuals with disabilities share their unique situations as well as their common demands to create better practices towards a more inclusive film community.
