As part of its “Academy Dialogues: It Starts With Us” series, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presents a conversation with writers Misan Sagay (“Belle”) and Ligiah Villalobos (“Under the Same Moon”) and filmmakers Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers (“The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open”) and Lulu Wang (“The Farewell”) on the role that gatekeeping at the studios and production companies has played in preventing authentic stories from being told.
Bird Runningwater, director of the Indigenous Program at the Sundance Institute, will moderate the discussion.
Misan Sagay, writer (“Belle”)
Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers, writer-director and actor (“The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open”)
Ligiah Villalobos, writer (“Under the Same Moon”)
