Join three female trailblazers, who have shattered the glass ceiling in the Middle East and Africa’s film industry, for a panel discussion on the footprint of women in filmmaking. Led by Canon MEA, the panel will discuss filmmaking in a male-dominated landscape, as well as why gender equality matters in the industry. It will celebrate the creative efforts of women filmmakers whose contributions have enriched the industry, and also debate how filmmaking should re-invent itself to further support gender equality. After the discussion, there will be a screening of ‘Shadow’, a film by Nayla Al Khaja, the UAE’s first female Director.
