Bridging the Dragon

 Two Conversations About Equality and Safety for Women in Film

 FRI. 19 MAY, 9:30-11:00 | PALAIS STAGE (PALAIS -1) & ONLINE

The Marché du Film is pleased to welcome onstage a conference presented by FIAUNI MEISAG-AFTRA & SFA composed of two consecutive sessions:

Part 1: 9:30-10:15

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back?

Our industry change-makers will evaluate progress on equal opportunities in film. Despite the relaunch of the Framework of Action on Gender Equality in the Audiovisual Sector in Europe, we question whether change is truly happening on the ground. The panelists will share what is making a difference for women in the sector and what obstacles still exist.

Part 2: 10:15-11:00

Vulnerability and Dignity: Talking About Intimacy Coordination 

Sexual harassment, sexual and sexist violence, workplace safety and dignity: these issues leapt into focus in the film sector in the wake of #MeToo. Different support and health and safety provisions have been developed in response, with intimacy-coordination becoming one of the most talked-about. What is it and how does protect all film workers involved in scenes with nudity and simulated intimacy? We ask our panellists to share their views on an emerging profession and workplace practice.
