I’ve heard the argument that movies are dying many times over the years and it’s always reminded me of the classic struggle between generations. The current generation thinks the older one is out of touch and the older one is convinced the current generation will bring about the end of days. This has been going on for thousands of years and humanity is still around…and so are movies.

The continuous, societal push toward greater diversity, that is slowly but surely having an impact, is the best hope for reinvigorating the industry. Instead of a new generation we just need a new perspective on inclusion.

There are great lyrics in the song “It’s Different for Girls” by the band Of Montreal:

“It’s different for girls they don’t…create an elite or poison the game so no one else can compete.”

This is gender commentary but imagine if all groups had an equal opportunity to create and engage with art? There’d be a lot more stories to tell.
