NYFF Live: New Hollywood?
53rd New York Film Festival
September 25 - October 11, 2015
How is modern moviegoing is diversifying and changing? Can women gain permanent positions of power in this new content landscape and will stories by and about people of color be embraced more widely? Panelists, including producer Effie T. Brown and writer Mark Harris will consider some of these questions and explore how Hollywood can do more to embrace what could be a permanent shift in the types of movies and TV shows that are made, distributed, and consumed by audiences.
Panelists Include:
Effie T. Brown (HBO’s Project Greenlight. Producer: Dear White People, Real Women Have Curves)
Ira Deutchman (Executive and producer. Professor, Columbia University)
Mark Harris (Journalist: The New York Times, Grantland. Author: Pictures at a Revolution, Five Came Back)
Susan Lewis (Executive: AK Worldwide, MTV Films)
Mynette Louie (Gamechanger Films. Producer: Land Ho!, Mutual Appreciation)
Rose McGowan (Actress: Death Proof, Grindhouse. Director: Dawn)
Lydia Dean Pilcher (Producer: The Lunchbox, Cutie and the Boxer, The Darjeeling Limited and The Talented Mr. Ripley.)
“A Hollywood Face-Lift” was the title of a recent Sunday New York Times Arts & Leisure cover story. In it, A.O. Scott and Manohla Dargis addressed the changing tides of Hollywood and how studio movies are evolving. Since then, HBO’s Project Greenlight, the Emmy Awards, remarks by Matt Damon and comments from Marion Cotillard have added urgency to an increasingly vital discussion about how modern moviegoing is diversifying and changing. Can women gain permanent positions of power in this new content landscape and will stories by and about people of color be embraced more widely? What about representations of LGBT folks on screen? Panelists will consider some of these questions and explore how Hollywood can do more to embrace what could be a permanent shift in the types of movies and TV shows that are made, distributed, and consumed by audiences.
