Panel Discussion: Diversity in Storytelling

Each and every one of us sees the world through a different lens. Our views are often defined by our intersectional lived experiences, such as our gender, racial identities, disability, sexuality and social and economic environment. This is what shapes how we see and experience the world.

The VIMFF is proud to partner with Colour the Trails on a panel discussion about “Diversity In Storytelling”. We want filmmakers to reflect on what inclusive storytelling looks like while partnering with diverse communities in a way that is not tokenistic but rather uplifting, building trust with a network of support. And while it’s important to have diverse stories and subjects, it’s also imperative to look at who is behind the lens.

Join Colour the Trails, leading athletes and filmmakers as they discuss how we can develop a more inclusive outdoor storytelling platform. How do we look at the world through a different lens and tell this story in a way that is both sensitive and authentic?
