LONDON -- The xxx parody moviesfilm industry's diversity issue is not going away.
Over the past year, Hollywood sexism and issues of race representation, both on and off screen, have been a huge topic of conversation among people in the movie business.
Numerous diversity reports have been published, some fairly damning. In May, Jodie Foster spoke out about the problems faced by female directors. During the 2016 Awards season, a barrage of celebrities criticised the Academy Awards for its treatment of actors of colour.

Last year, the British Film Institute dubbed the festival "the year of the strong women", while this year's festival has placed a focus on black talent.
Mashabletook to the red carpet to speak to actors, directors, screenwriters and producers about diversity in the industry, and to what extent they still think it's an issue.

"And I think, LFF having a season like they're having right now is doing diversity; I think Disney making this film is doing diversity; and I think you look at this audience and the people here to see this film tonight -- that is diversity in action."
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable "This is diversity in action, right now, this film. And I think that's what it requires, just people getting out and saying, yeah we believe in these stories -- we can get them made, people will make them. And hopefully people will see them.
"I've just produced a show [Big Little Lies] that has Zoë Kravtiz as the lead, it has me, it has Laura Dern, it has Reese [Witherspoon], it's all female leads... because if you're also talking about diversity you're also talking about women in film.
"We just need to keep pushing the boundaries and pushing forward and saying 'we can get this stuff made'. But it is hard. It's like pushing rocks up a mountain at times. But we keep it in the conversation and then you come out and support the film on red carpets, at festivals, so that people go see it.
"It's the only way to change it."

"It's about who is in power, and what's their perspective, and what films are they green-lighting in order for us to actually tackle this debate on inclusion."
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable "I think the fact you're asking the question suggests there is still an issue, if you know what I mean? And I think that's really sad. It's not the first time I've been asked but it is something that will continually come up over the coming years. I hope it doesn't, and I hope it just gets to the point where we don't talk about it anymore.
"It shouldn't be there. Especially in this day and age. We've come so far, but it's still a long way to go."
