Together we rise! 82 women working in the film industry held a silent protest at the Cannes film festival last weekend to highlight the lack of female directors in the programme. The number of women was chosen to match the amount of female filmmakers whose films have appeared in competition at the festival in its 71-year history. In that time, 1,645 male directors have seen their films selected. “Women are not a minority in the world, yet the current state of our industry says otherwise,” they said in a statement. “As women, we all face our own unique challenges, but we stand together on these stairs today as a symbol of our determination and commitment to progress.” #audiovisual #mediaselectah #technology #art #design #motiongraphics #projectionmapping #livemediaart #motiondesign #video #mexico #visual #makers #creative #studio #media #girlboss #thefutureisfemale #womenincannes #cateblanchet
