Diversity in Film with Casting Director Raquel Kishori Dukpa Webinar

In Film, marginalised people are often portrayed in stereotypical ways, both historically and in the contemporary film landscape. Among other things, attributing racist, queerphobic, and sexist imagery to characters from marginalised positions has become the norm. This results in queer and non-white roles often being cast and narrated stereotypically. How discrimination is dealt with in productions can have an impact on viewers' experiences; but the viewing experiences of marginalised people are often not taken into account. Moreover, the interplay of cast and script, which tells us something about what is portrayed as the social norm, is often not being considered.
In this webinar, participants explore the influence of internalised discriminatory assumptions on production processes and discuss critical approaches to discrimination.

Raquel Kishori Dukpa is a screenwriter, film producer, and casting director. She studied at the University of Hildesheim, focusing on film, queer-feminist theory, and popular culture. Since 2016, she has been part of the collective JÜNGLINGE. In 2021, she was awarded the German Actors Award for her work as a casting director.
