Y a un film qui parle de trois générations de femmes noires dotées de pouvoirs qui est en train de se faire bailler par les cinémas, sous prétexte qu’ils ne savent pas comment le « commercialiser ».

Despite #FastColor ‘s rave reviews, it was only given a limited theatrical release. Now the film’s director is calling out the ‘white, male gatekeepers’ who said they didn’t know how to market a film about 3 generations of Black women with superpowers.

‘Fast Color’ Director Points Out Film’s Lack Of Marketing And Hollywood’s White, Male Gatekeepers - Shadow and Act

Despite rave reviews ( including one from S&A ), Julia Hart’s superhero saga Fast Color has only opened in 25 theaters and so far has grossed over $60,000 at the box office. Now, the director of Fast Color is sounding off on the lack of marketing and distribution surrounding the acclaimed motion picture. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter , at a screening in Glendale, California a week following the film’s release, its director, Julia Hart rightfully criticized the fight for more inclusion in Hollywood, particularly the habit of talking instead of doing anything in regards to pushing the narratives of women and people of color to the forefront. Hart and Gugu Mbatha-Raw took part in a Q&A at the screening, moderated by film critic and journalist Yolanda Machado.
