Women in Film and Vogue100 Bring a Powerful Conversation to Cannes

Women in Film and Vogue100 Bring a Powerful Conversation to Cannes
SHARE

The Cannes Film Festival is not just about the glitz and glamour—it’s also about the stories being told on screen and who gets to tell them. Unfortunately, many films are limited by the narrow perspectives of their creators, whether it be their nationality, wealth, or gender. This is where organizations like Women in Film (WIF) come in.

Established in Los Angeles in 1973, WIF has been a champion for women in the film industry, advocating for their careers and opportunities. Over the years, WIF has expanded its support to include nonbinary and trans creatives as well, making it a global force for change.

Recently, a group of filmmakers, executives, and philanthropists gathered at Ciro’s at the Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic for a breakfast salon hosted by WIF and Vogue100. Against the backdrop of the beautiful Promenade de la Croisette, attendees discussed the importance of access, equity, and artistry in the film industry.

The morning spread at the salon was a feast for the senses, with delicate mushroom omelets, avocado toast, tropical fruits, and fresh-pressed juices. As guests mingled and networked, WIF CEO Kirsten Schaffer led a panel discussion with three rising producers: Funmbi Ogunbanwo, Jessamine Burgum, and Leah Chen Baker.

Ogunbanwo, known for her groundbreaking work in African cinema, shared her experience producing the first Nigerian film ever selected for Cannes, emphasizing the importance of telling diverse stories. Burgum, the founder of Pinky Promise, highlighted the challenges of financing and distribution in the industry but remained optimistic about the opportunities for innovation. Chen Baker, whose film “The President’s Cake” was featured in the Directors’ Fortnight program, discussed the power of storytelling to create change and understanding on a global scale.

Overall, the conversation at the breakfast salon underscored the need for diverse voices and perspectives in filmmaking. As the industry continues to evolve, organizations like WIF play a crucial role in advocating for inclusivity and representation. Cannes may be a showcase of glitz and glamour, but at its core, it is a platform for telling stories that resonate with audiences around the world.
