Women in European cinema: are we making progress?

For the third consecutive year (see 2021 and 2020 events here and here), a group of organisations and research bodies in the European audiovisual sector are organising an online event to keep track of the latest developments related to the presence of women in European cinema. The main objective, 5 years after the emergence of #metoo, and two years passed the ‘50/50 by 2020’ target, remains to keep the topic on the agenda, to monitor progress, and to identify priority actions for the future.
