A conference by FIA, UNI MEI, SAG-AFTRA & SFA composed of two consecutive sessions:

9:30am: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back?

With this panel of industry change-makers, we will take stock of meaningful progress on equal opportunities in film. The newly relaunched Framework of Action on Gender Equality in the Audiovisual sector in Europe reaffirms the commitment of broadcasters, producers and trade unions in the sector to driving progress, but is change happening on the ground? Is the culture really shifting? We ask our panellists to share what is actually making a difference to opportunities for women in the sector and what is still holding them back.

Speakers:
Evelyn Regner: Vice-President, European Parliament, Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ)
Claude Garnier, Director of Photography, France
Anamaria Antoci, Producer, Executive Director of the European Women’s Audiovisual Network EWA
Moderated by Pauline Durand Vialle, CEO of Federation of European Screen Directors FERA

10.20am: Vulnerability and Dignity: Talking About Intimacy Coordination

Sexual harassment, sexual and sexist violence, workplace safety and dignity: these issues leapt into focus in the film sector in the wake of #MeToo. Different support and health and safety provisions have been developed in response, with intimacy-coordination becoming one of the most talked-about. What is it and how does protect all film workers involved in scenes with nudity and simulated intimacy? We ask our panellists to share their views on an emerging profession and workplace practice.

Speakers:
Megan Gilron, Intimacy Professional, Chair of The National Society of Intimacy Professionals (NSIP)
Iris Zappe-Heller, Deputy Director Austrian Film Institute, Chair of Gender and Inclusion Working
