Conference by the informal group “Women in Film and Television Lithuania” (WIFT LT)

#MeToo scandals have hit the headlines from the US to Lithuania. However, according to UNESCO’s 2018 Global Report “Re|Shaping Cultural Policies” only 1 of 5 films in Europe are directed by women and only 16% of the funding goes to films directed by women. During the event, initiated by informal group “Women in Film and Television Lithuania” (WIFT LT), experts from Scandinavian cinema industry will present data and best practise in gender equality throughout the decades, local representatives will overview the situation in Lithuanian cinema industry and during the discussion we all-together will be looking for best practise to acquire for Lithuanian authors, companies and policy makers. The event is free of charge and will be held in English. Partners: Vilniaus kino biuras, „Kūrybiškos Europos“ MEDIA biuras Lietuvoje, „Meno avilys“, „Women in Film and Television International“ (WIFTI), „Women in Film and Television Nordic“.
