To participate, please register here.
This interactive panel investigates the success of films made by women directors, producers, screenwriters, camerawomen, etc.
- Is funding women's projects well worth the money if we look at box-office figures, awards, media coverage as well as the return on investment?
- Do films made by women tell new stories, or do they tell the same stories in a new way?
