Moulding subject matter
Hi,
“Cinema’s diversity drive goes beyond moulding subject matter. Particularly vexatious is the scarcity of female directors.”
I’m not sure what ‘moulding subject matter’ means in this case. Does it mean that the attempts at diversity in the film industry don’t focus on the important issues that need to be addressed like the lack of female directors?
Thank you.
