In a rapidly evolving global landscape, the narratives that shape our societies are more critical than ever. This open workshop with Fatih Abay, Diversity & Inclusion Officer of European Film Academy, explores the vital role of underrepresented storytelling in fostering social sustainability. This talk hosted by journalist Marta Balaga (Variety) delves into the transformative power of underrepresented storytelling within the film industry and aims to show that diversity and inclusion should not be seen as an imposed asset but rather as an organic part of various ecosystems of the film landscape. By spotlighting stories from underrepresented communities in regard to ethnicity, LGTBQIA* identity, gender, disability and other diversity and inclusion parameters, we explore how these narratives contribute to a more inclusive, empathetic, and resilient society. Discover the transformative power of diverse narratives in challenging stereotypes, bridging cultural divides, and fostering empathy, and highlight the importance of platforms that amplify underrepresented voices, the impact of diverse stories on social cohesion, and the economic and cultural benefits of a more inclusive narrative film landscape.
