The Pros And Cons Of Film Festivals

The 2015 Hollywood Diversity Report, published by UCLA’s Ralph J. Bunche Center, said that while minorities account for more than half of frequent US moviegoers, the representation of those minorities has dipped since 2013. The report describes that year as a “breakout year” for black films, including 12 Years a Slave and The Butler. In 2015, Straight Outta Compton made over $60m, which was $20m higher than expected. (Hollywood Diversity Report). The report says black audiences are repeatedly undervalued. What the report is proving is that the lack of diversity in the film industry is actually costing Hollywood money. The problem and solution seem almost obvious when looking at these specific examples – do not underestimate minority audiences and how much money they will collectively spend watching movies with diverse

The last opportunity for the festival includes the role it can provide in educating the local youth about local cultural music, theater, and arts. Many may grow up to have a strong appreciation towards their own communities’ festival.

In my seventeen years of life, an awards event hosted by GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network) is the one thing that exposed me to what diversity should be. Each person that bought a ticket was given free reign to be who they are. People from every age, gender, sexuality, race, religion, and social class was given equal opportunity to be themselves. It wasn’t diverse because of strategic planning, but because people wanted to be there. This event made me realize three main things: those who complain that inclusion of certain demographics is unnecessary are those who are not exposed to those people, there is a societal structure forced upon people, and there are so many things that I must learn.

Central Idea: Festival culture has transformed into a global phenomenon that began in the 50s-60s.

In this essay, I will explain a cultural object from a scene from the movie Girls Trip, which was released on July 21, 2017.

Many of the distribution companies are integrating with the production studios because the need for distribution is diminishing with the conversion to digital.

The film industry has always been somewhat of a dichotomy. Grounded firmly in both the worlds of art and business the balance of artistic expression and commercialization has been an issue throughout the history of filmmaking. The distinction of these two differing goals and the fact that neither has truly won out over the other in the span of the industry's existence, demonstrates a lot of information about the nature of capitalism.
