SHE STATEMENT
 
Our SHE STATEMENT for "Yes She Cannes" 2024 
is EMPOWERED WOMEN, EMPOWER WOMEN

WE BELIEVE WHEN WE ARE EMPOWER EACH OTHER, WE FEEL EMPOWERED TO PASS THAT SUPPORT ON TO OTHERS. 
THROUGH EDUCATION (IN OUR WORKSHOPS, GUIDE & SUPPORT GROUP) WE CAN EQUIP WOMEN WITH THE KNOWLEDGE TO PREPARE FOR THE FESTIVAL.
WE ARE ALSO SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH OUR SHE SQUAD, 
OFFERING NOT ONLY GUIDANCE & INFORMATION, BUT A SISTERHOOD BUILD ON COMMUNITY & AUTHENTIC CONNECTIONS.

THIS YEAR WE ARE PARTNERING WITH A TRINITY OF COMPANIES & PARTNERS, LAUNCHING A NEW COLLECTIVE- FULL DETAILS TBA SOON.

Founded and run by Filmmaker Faith Elizabeth, of Faithful Films, this year we are back with our updated How-To Guide for 2024, as well as supporting our community of women through the SHE SQUAD.

 

In addition to this, we are launching our first ever Women’s Only hosted Villa

(in collaboration with Lumino Films), as well as a new female collective- soon to be announced in an official publication (check out our socials for updates!)

 

“I started Yes She Cannes, as a self funded empowerment project, because after falling in love with the magic of cinema and endless opportunities at the festival- I wanted to see a stronger female presence.

 

I believe that the more women attending the festival, the more strong connections they will make, as well as increased visibility they will bring to their work- creating more opportunities for them to succeed in the industry.

 

Many women felt intimidated by the festival,

not understanding how it works and not wanting

to come alone. We have created a community

of education and support. Though our Guides

and How-To Workshops, we are sharing information

to encourage more women to attend, whilst

supporting them to have a strong, positive

festival experience.

 

It has been on my heart for several years now,

to offer some kind of hosted accommodation.

Having experienced issues in quality and safety

myself, in addition to not having a group to

stay with- I am so excited that through the

support of Jane Sanger, from Lumino films,

that together we are bringing this mission to

life with our first, of what we hope is many,

hosted accommodation options for women.”
