The "OMNI Inclusion" platform is the first low-threshold and anonymised online survey tool designed to better capture the diversity of the cinema and TV industry in Germany in future. An initial prototype has already been developed - an industry-wide advisory board is to be established in the coming months to support OMNI in the pilot phase. The first OMNI Inclusion Report is also expected to be published in 2024.

MOIN Film Fund has agreed a cooperation with the Australian "The Everyone Project" in order to learn from the experience Down Under. Behind theThe Everyone Project stands for the "Screen Diversity and Inclusion Network", a group of the most important Australian television broadcasters, film funding organisations and professional associations. The project surveys and analyses the diversity characteristics of the cast and crew of Australian television and film productions on a voluntary basis.

In addition to focusing on film teams, the German platform OMNI Inclusion will also give broadcasters and film funding organisations the opportunity to put their own structures to the test.

Helge AlbersCEO MOIN Film Fund: "OMNI Inclusion is intended to make a decisive contribution to making the German film industry more diverse and therefore fairer, more resilient and more sustainable. The outstanding 'The Everyone Project' is exactly the right partner for us. In dialogue with the German film industry, we are looking forward to launching a tool that is user-friendly and inclusive, while attaching the utmost importance to data protection and data security."

Adam Smithfounder of The Everyone Project: "We are delighted to be able to contribute our expertise and technology to this innovative MOIN initiative. Promoting diversity is not easy and good data is essential. I am convinced that together we will develop a tool for the German market that is comprehensive, respectful and inclusive as well as quick and easy to use."

Filming more diversity MOIN Film Fund is helping to make the German film industry more inclusive. Since June 2020, applicants have therefore been obliged to complete a "Diversity Checklist". The checklists are intended to sensitise filmmakers to the topic of diversity and support the work of the funding committees. Currently (as of January 2022), 49 per cent of MOIN Film Fund committee members identify as female and just under a quarter as people of colour and/or with a migration background.
