Women In Motion

In 2015, Kering launched the Women In Motion program, in partnership with the Festival de Cannes with the aim of shining a light on women’s contribution to cinema, both in front of and behind the camera. Since then, the program has expanded internationally, extending into other forms of art including photography, literature and the plastic arts.

The Talks

Women In Motion offers a platform for expression to prominent figures who share their views on the representation of women. After more than 40 talks that have attracted over 70 leading lights of the cinema world, the program has become a platform of choice for helping to change mindsets, to celebrate women of influence, and to think about both the role of women and the recognition they receive in arts and culture.

In photography, since 2016, Women In Motion has supported the Prix de la Photo Madame Figaro Arles, aimed at supporting young female talents in photography. In 2019, Kering stepped up its commitment to female photographers and created the Women In Motion Award for photography.
