Feminist Scripts in Cinema Now : a Panel discussion Berlinale 2020

Join our 8th discussion and network meeting on the status of women in the film business and gender equity during the Berlinale.

THE OTHER STORY: FEMINIST SCRIPTS IN CINEMA NOW

Female characters in film and on TV define the way we see women and men in our society. Role models that differ from familiar stereotypes demonstrate possibilities beyond the norm, offer encouragement, deliver criticism and help viewers position themselves differently. The discussion aims to encourage filmmakers to develop innovative scripts that will bring greater diversity to our cinemas.
