Free Talk: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead
Rendez-Vous with French Cinema 2018
March 8 - 18, 2018

Director Tonie Marshall—whose latest film, Number One, depicts how women still have to struggle to climb the social ladder—will join director Marine Francen (The Sower), journalist Lisa Rosman, Women & Hollywood founder Melissa Silverstein, and producer & member of the PGA diversity committee, Rachel Watanabe-Batton, for a special talk about issues around female empowerment and the place of women in the French film and corporate industries.
