Women In Motion Talk at the 36th Tokyo International Film Festival
A longstanding commitment
Launched by Kering in 2015, in collaboration with the Festival de Cannes, Women In Motion seeks to highlight women in cinema, both in front of and behind the camera. Since the fight for equality in creation extends beyond cinema, the program has expanded to photography, music, choreography, art, and design.
Through its Awards, the program recognizes inspirational figures and talented young women, while its Talks provide an opportunity for leading personalities to share their views on the representation of women in their profession.
Women In Motion and TIFF
This 36th edition is the third time Women In Motion joins forces with the Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF). 2019 saw the program spotlight actor Shinobu Terajima, movie director and photographer Mika Ninagawa, and artist Sputniko! at its inaugural Talk. A second followed in 2022, featuring filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda and Japanese actor Mayu Matsuoka.
Exploring three distinct views on cinema
This year, Women In Motion features three leading figures in South Korean and Japanese cinema, namely South Korean actor[TE(1] Bae Donna, Japanese actor Asami Mizukawa and Japanese producer Kayo Washio. These three talented icons will share their distinct views on the cinematic role of women in South Korea, Japan, as well as Hollywood. Together, they will also discuss the industry's future and challenges.
Filmmaker and 2018 Cannes Palme d'Or winner Hirokazu Kore-eda will deliver an opening speech before the Talk.
