Trade associations, companies and other organisations across the film sector are actively involved in promoting a more inclusive approach to filmmaking, facilities and services provision, distribution, exhibition, training and film education.
This section explains the film industry's current strategy, who is supporting it and how.
There are three main areas in which the film industry is addressing diversity issues:
- Cinema-going - Widening access to potential audience members who may be excluded from film, whether because of their disability, location, age, ethnic origin or any other reason.
- Working in film - Bringing in and retaining people from the widest pool of talent.
- Content and portrayal - Looking at storylines and at how certain groups are portrayed on film.
