  • Résumé

  • Joan Jenkinson, executive director of the Black Screen Office (BSO); and Jesse Wente, co-executive director of the Indigenous Screen Office (ISO) talk candidly about diversity and representation in Canadian media; the importance of the language in C-11 to uplevel the country’s commitment to ending systemic discrimination – and dive into the meaning of systemic. Jenkinson and Wente comment on the critical distinction between diversity and representation. They observe that streamers have welcomed more diverse projects than legacy media; discuss how a focus on diversity increases the potential for hits for global audiences; and comment on the notion of “colour-blind” storytelling. Joan and Jesse round things out by noting that diversity benefits the whole of Canada and their excitement about the potential of the current moment.
