    About Women In Motion


    Launched in May 2015 by Kering, a partner of the Festival de Cannes, Women In Motion is an integral part of the Festival official program and has extended its reach around the world through a series of events. The program aims to shine a light on women’s contribution to the cinema industry, both in front of and behind the camera, as well as in all creative fields. Women In Motion rewards inspirational figures and talented young women with its awards, and also offers cinema’s leading female lights a chance to express their views on the representation of women - whether onscreen or within the industry in general - through its series of Talks. Since its launch at Cannes, the program has sought to extend its reach into other areas of artistic production where gender inequality is present; among them photography, notably tackled though a comprehensive partnership with Les Rencontres d’Arles.
