What Mainstream Cinema can Learn from Independent Film - Raindance

Mainstream cinema can be great, but in a lot of cases it seems to have quite literally lost the plot- formulas and trends unfortunately can often dictate box office success in the eyes of many producers, often resulting in style over substance, taken from generically predictable and overused narrative templates. Don’t get me wrong I love …

GLAAD Study Finds Drastic Drop In LGBT Racial Diversity Across 2015 Films

GLAAD released its fourth annual Studio Responsibility Index this morning, finding that the racial diversity of LGBT characters “drastically decreased” since last year’s report.

GLAAD released its fourth annual Studio Responsibility Index this morning, finding that the racial diversity of LGBT characters “drastically decreased” since last year’s report and that there “remains a lack of substantial LGBT characters in mainstream films.” 

No studios were given a “Good” rating for their 2015 films while Paramount, Disney and Warner Bros received “Failing” grades from the media advocacy watchdog for their portrayals of LGBT people.

GLAAD’s index maps the quantity, quality, and diversity of images of LGBT people in films released by the seven largest studios during the calendar year. The group found that of the 126 releases from the major studios in 2015, 22 (17.5%) included characters identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender. That reps no change from the 17.5% of films found to be inclusive in the previous report. The group says the majority of LGBT characters in 2015 were minor roles.

“Hollywood’s films lag far behind any other form of media when it comes to portrayals of LGBT characters,” said GLAAD President & CEO Sarah Kate Ellis. “Too often, the few LGBT characters that make it to the big screen are the target of a punchline or token characters. The film industry must embrace new and inclusive stories if it wants to remain competitive and relevant.”

Considering that films like Piku, Tanu Weds Manu Returns, and Bajirao Mastanipicked up 10 major awards amongst themselves, this would have…
