WIFT Israel Panel @Cannes Filmfestival 2023: Between Ageism & Quality

Cannes, FR | May 19th 2023 | 9:30 – 11:00 AM
WIFT Israel Panel: Between Ageism & Quality

Ageism is prevailing. The shorter „lifespan“ of women in decision-making positions almost in all areas of the film industry systematically discriminates against female production, erasing it from the canon. As a result, each generation has to reinvent itself.

So what initiatives, practical, and concrete steps should we take to keep or bring back the industry women at 40+?

Ms. Victoria Thomas, producer/course director, M.A. international film business, London Film School, will moderate the panel.

Panelist:
Ms. Katie Bailiff | CEO – Women In Film And Television UK
Mis. Dana Morag | Artistic Director – Tel Aviv Cinematheque, Israel
Ms. Helene Granqvist | Producer & President WITF Sweden/WIFT I
Ms. Elizabeth Kaiden | Co-founder, The Writers Lab

Dr. Susan Liddy | Chair WIFT Ireland, President (Incoming) WIFT I; Editor Women, Ageing and The Screen Industries: Falling Off A Cliff? (2023)
