Women In Motion
In 2015, Kering launched the Women In Motion program, in partnership with the Festival de Cannes with the aim of shining a light on women’s contribution to cinema, both in front of and behind the camera. Since then, the program has expanded internationally, extending into other forms of art including photography, literature and the plastic arts.
The Talks
Women In Motion offers a platform for expression to prominent figures who share their views on the representation of women. After more than 40 talks that have attracted over 70 leading lights of the cinema world, the program has become a platform of choice for helping to change mindsets, to celebrate women of influence, and to think about both the role of women and the recognition they receive in arts and culture.

The Awards
Through its Awards, Women In Motion honors inspirational women and young female talents. Every year, Kering presents two Prizes at the Festival de Cannes: the Women in Motion Award honors iconic figures from the world of cinema, whose career is a source of inspiration, and the Young Talents Award supports a promising female in the sector. In photography, since 2016, Women In Motion has supported the Prix de la Photo Madame Figaro Arles, aimed at supporting young female talents in photography. In 2019, Kering stepped up its commitment to female photographers and created the Women In Motion Award for photography.
Women In Motion around the world
Founded to highlight women's contributions to the 7th art and launched at the Festival de Cannes in 2015, Women In Motion has since expanded into new fields and traveled the world. The program now spans several artistic and cultural disciplines— including photography, music, choreography, visual arts, and design—to foster representation, develop new models, and achieve greater parity.
