Great news! Today marks the launch of People of Film, a platform for film professionals who are racialized or non-white. We at Obeya have had the great pleasure of working on the strategy, the launch, and the fantastic name for People of Film.
"There is a very clear lack of diversity regarding which stories and individuals are given space in Swedish film. To create relevant films, we want them to reflect society as a whole. This requires more perspectives in the workplace," says Hawa Sanneh, one of the founders behind the initiative.
