Delroy Lindo, Gina Prince-Bythewood & T.J. Martin | Academy Dialogues: Icon Mann- We Are The Culture

Описание: Actor Delroy Lindo (“Da 5 Bloods”), filmmaker Gina Prince-Bythewood (“The Old Guard”), and Oscar-winning filmmaker T.J. Martin (“LA92”), discuss how Black artists break through barriers and truly realize the power and meaning behind the saying, “We are the culture. Nothing moves without us.” This dialogue also focuses on The Academy’s Black membership and the challenges of being successful in a system that was designed to be exclusionary. Moderated by Shawn Finnie, Associate Director of Member Relations and Outreach.

#AcademyDialogues is a new series of virtual panels for members and the public, as a part of Academy Aperture 2025, called “Academy Dialogues: It Starts with Us,” with conversations about race, ethnicity, gender, history, opportunity and the art of filmmaking. These discussions focus on the industry-wide systemic changes that are needed to afford greater opportunities to women and people from underrepresented ethnic/racial communities and to create a new narrative for recovery.
