Riley Keough, Gina Gammell, and Margaret Zhang are set to host a special event at the upcoming Tribeca Festival in partnership with Chanel. The event, titled “Through Her Lens Conversation,” will bring together three influential women from different industries to discuss their experiences and insights on the topic of women in film.
Riley Keough, known for her roles in films such as “Mad Max: Fury Road” and “American Honey,” is not only a talented actress but also a strong advocate for women’s rights and representation in the film industry. She has been vocal about the need for more diverse and inclusive storytelling and has used her platform to support and uplift female filmmakers.
Gina Gammell, the founder of the production company Hello Sunshine, is a powerhouse in the entertainment industry. She has been a driving force in promoting female-driven projects and has worked with talented female directors such as Ava DuVernay and Greta Gerwig. Gammell’s passion for creating opportunities for women in film makes her a perfect fit for the “Through Her Lens Conversation” event.
Margaret Zhang, a fashion blogger turned filmmaker, is a rising star in the industry. She has quickly made a name for herself as a talented director, with her short film “There’s No Space Left in C# Minor” being selected for the Cannes Film Festival. Zhang’s unique perspective as a female filmmaker and her success in a male-dominated field make her an inspiring addition to the panel.
The “Through Her Lens Conversation” event is a part of the Tribeca Festival’s ongoing efforts to support and promote women in film. The festival has always been a platform for diverse voices and stories, and this event is another step towards creating a more inclusive and equal industry.
The event will feature a panel discussion with Keough, Gammell, and Zhang, moderated by a yet-to-be-announced special guest. The panelists will share their personal experiences and insights on the challenges and opportunities for women in film, as well as the importance of representation and diversity in storytelling.
The event will also include a screening of short films created by female filmmakers, followed by a Q&A session with the filmmakers. This is a fantastic opportunity for emerging female filmmakers to showcase their work and receive valuable feedback from industry professionals.
The “Through Her Lens Conversation” event is made possible by the partnership between Tribeca Festival and Chanel. Chanel has a long history of supporting women in the arts, and this event is a testament to their commitment to empowering and elevating female voices.
The event will take place on June 16th at the Tribeca Festival Hub, and tickets are available for purchase on the festival’s website. This is a must-attend event for anyone passionate about women in film and the future of storytelling.
In a statement, Tribeca Festival co-founder Jane Rosenthal said, “We are thrilled to have Riley, Gina, and Margaret join us for this important conversation. These three women are not only incredibly talented in their respective fields, but they are also strong advocates for women in film. We are grateful to Chanel for their support in bringing this event to life and for their continued commitment to empowering female voices.”
The “Through Her Lens Conversation” event promises to be an inspiring and thought-provoking discussion on the current state and future of women in film. It is a reminder that when women come together and support each other, there is no limit to what we can achieve.
