As the first major film festival to take place in the pandemic era, there’s a gravity to the 77th Venice Biennale simply by virtue of the show going on under such fraught global conditions.
The way these figures break down across different demographics is eye-opening. Across the last five years of competition juries, there have been no Black jurors at Venice; one Black juror, Dora Bouchoucha, at Berlin; and five Black jurors at Cannes: Maimouna N’Diaye, Ava DuVernay, Khadja Nin, Will Smith and Rokia Traoré.
This is evident even in the few instances of Black people showing up in these roles. Dora Bouchoucha, a lone — fair-skinned — rep for Black jurors in our Berlin data is now one of the two people of color on a Venice jury.
Having one demographic judging to determine if movies win at festivals/awards shows is sabotage. So yes, they are failing the industry.
I agree. Other then, women, who are still undervalued and under represented in Film. The only attempt at diversity I see up there is Matt Dillon who is half putz.
why are we surprised? the ppl in power will never share their power simply bc u ask, u have to take it
The picture says it all
