From June 10 to June 16, actress and activist Geena Davis, alongside festival director Wendy Guerrero and many others, will be hosting the 10th anniversary of Arkansas’ Bentonville Film Festival. This year’s fest is expected to attract 65,000 attendees and, as with its previous installments, centers on championing the films and voices of women, non-binary, LGBTQ+, BIPOC, API, and persons with disabilities in entertainment and media. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter promoting the festival, Davis said that while the work BFF does is in a good place, there’s still more to be done.
“We’re making tremendous progress with gender, race and ethnicity-based inclusion,” said Davis. “Unfortunately, representation for people with disabilities is still in the low-single-digits, despite one in four Americans identifying as being disabled.

There are already many movies like that. They usually flop because there is very little interest in them.

The rest of the world does not. PC always flop.
Movies aren't the real world. They are escapism. No one wants to see another movie like The Whale.
No one wants to see an aged Geena Davis either.

We’re making tremendous progress with gender, race and ethnicity-based inclusion
white women really care about the silliest things when they're bored
