WIDC is proud to be part of a groundbreaking collective of 12 international women’s film and television organizations, film festivals, media outlets, and production companies, that are coming together for the first time at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), to promote the shared goal of increasing the number of women in the director’s chair.
In this unprecedented joint endeavor, these advocates for greater gender parity are proudly co-presenting the Industry Happy Hour with TIFF on Monday, September 12th from 5:30-6:30pm. This Happy Hour will cap an industry day at TIFF that kicks off with a screening and feature panel on The 4%: Film’s Gender Problem.
