Women in European cinema: are we making progress?
Presentation of the latest quantitative and qualitative studies
An event organised by the European Women’s Audiovisual Network (EWA Network), UNI Europa - Media, Entertainment & Arts (EUROMEI), and the European Film Agency Directors Association (EFAD)
in partnership with the International Federation of Actors (FIA), the Federation of European Screen Directors (FERA), the Lab Femmes de Cinema, the European Audiovisual Observatory,) and Cineuropa.
For the third consecutive year (see here 2021 and 2020 events), a group of organisations and research bodies in the European audiovisual sector are organising an online event to keep track of the latest developments related to the presence of women in European cinema. The main objective, 5 years after the emergence of #metoo, and two years passed the ‘50/50 by 2020’ target, remains to keep the topic on the agenda, to monitor progress, and to identify priority actions for the future.
