Watch the panel discussion Women in Film Industry: The Example of Change, which took place on March 13 at the East Doc Platform 2019 in Prague, and a short interview with one of the panellists, Jenny Wikstrand.
The discussion on gender equality in audio-visual industry has been open for a while, and it is now more important than ever to discuss the fair conditions for everyone. The question of quotas and balanced programmes became gathering positive praise, as well as fierce resistance. Let’s face some evident data and see the positive outcome such initiatives bring and how the equality programmes could be successfully integrated in film festival programming, as well as film fund’s policies on larger scale. Panellists: Sarah Anderson (Chicken & Egg Pictures, US), Leena Pasanen (DOK Leipzig, DE), Jenny Wikstrand (Swedish Film Institute, SE), Biljana Tutorov (Circle - Women Doc Accelerator, RS). Moderated by Brigid O’Shea (DOK Leipzig, DE).
