currently preparing for it's launch at
Cannes Film Festival 2018.
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.”
