Viola Davis concludes her speech at Kering's WomenInMotion dinner at Cannes: 'I don't want to leave something for people. I want to leave something in people.'
for its seventh year to once again celebrate the lives and accomplishments of powerful women in cinema. The program aims to further the cause of recognizing women in the film industry at a time that seems to be a turning point for female representation in the sector.
“Women in Motion will continue, thanks to its awards, to shine a light on exceptional women who have made their mark on cinema and helped change perceptions, and also to provide financial support to talented young female filmmakers,” says Valérie Duport, Kering chief image and communication officer.
Campion won the director Oscar earlier this year for “The Power of the Dog,” making her the third woman to have won the prize in the 94 years that the Academy has given out the awards. Kathryn Bigelow was the first woman to win the award for 2010’s “The Hurt Locker,” and it took 11 years until another woman joined the ranks with Chloé Zhao’s win for 2021’s “Nomadland.” As Kering emphasizes, there is still a long way to go for female representation on screen.
Previous Women in Motion honorees include Jane Fonda, Geena Davis, Susan Sarandon, Isabelle Huppert, Patty Jenkins, Gong Li and Salma Hayek. The Young Talent prize, which launched in 2016, has been given to Leyla Bouzid, Gaya Jiji, Ida Panahandeh, Maysaloun Hamoud, Carla Simón, Eva Trobisch and Shannon Murphy.
