Workshops |

|
Workshop 1: Funding Diversity How can funds be distributed differently and more equally? What needs to be considered when allocating money? And how can money also be allocated for diversity in a production? |
Moderation: Philipp Kreuzer |
|
|
Workshop 2: Marketing Diversity How do I market my film if it does not represent the German majority society? Can or do I even want to promote diversity? Is there a target audience? Or are stories ideally so universal that the migration background is just an an accessory (see A24 with MINARI or THE FAREWELL or MOONLIGHT). |
Moderation: Jan Krüger |
|
|
Workshop 3: Writing Diversity The world is full of clichés and faux pas. How to avoid them as a scriptwriter and how to explore (post)migrant backgrounds in German filmmaking with sensitivity or simply depict them as a given without giving up one's artistic identity. |
Moderation: Memo Jeftic, Duc-Thi Bui |
|
|
Workshop 4: UK Best Case Studies - a creative approach to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Mia Bays (Director BFI Film Fund) and Melanie Hoyes (Industry Inclusion Executive, BFI) will present best case/worst case examples from the UK and describe their experiences from recent years. The workshop will aim to take learnings from the successes and failures of EDI practice in the UK and ask participants to use their creativity to imagine how they might adapt these lessons for the German landscape. This workshop is in cooperation with Creative Europe Desk Munich. |
Moderation: Mia Bays, Melanie Hoyes |
