What’s your take on film festivals that claim to champion diversity but feel totally predictable?

Does the hype around "diverse voices" in indie cinema actually lead to better movies, or is it just a box-ticking exercise for grants?

Is the push for diversity in media genuine progress, or just good marketing?

Does the push for diversity in media actually improve quality, or just tick boxes?

Has the push for diversity in media become more about ticking boxes than telling real, uncomfortable stories?

Has the pressure for diversity mandates hurt the creativity of cultural festivals?

Why does the literary canon feel so rigid and out of touch?

Should cultural festivals ditch inclusivity quotas and just pick the best work, or is that a cop-out?
