MWFF 2020: Representation Starts Here

A panel of filmmakers exploring gender diversity, ethnicity, sexuality, disability, and age on screen and off.

What can filmmakers do to champion diversity in their work? Many screen creatives want to include a multitude of voices, experiences and identities. But what can we actually do to ensure diversity, beyond tokenistic or superficial measures? Featuring critics and filmmakers, this panel explores how screen creatives can meaningfully strive for more inclusive representation, both on-screen and behind the camera. Our panellists explore gender diversity, ethnicity, sexuality, disability and age, and discuss practical ways to celebrate and champion the many voices in our community.

Co-presented with Women in Film and Television Victoria.
