WFT Chair Dr. Susan Liddy in Conversation with Anna Serner

Description

WFT is excited to announce that on Thursday, December 3rd WFT Chair Dr. Susan Liddy will be in conversation with the CEO of the Swedish Film Institute, the legendary Anna Serner.

Since her appointment in 2011, Serner has delivered 5050 in Sweden and has become one of the most influential figures in the international industry. Earlier this year she announced, “I’m not afraid to give bigger budgets to only women for one year.”

Serner is an internationally recognized leader; an inspired and outspoken advocate for gender equality across the world with a brief to “to take ALL of the talent into consideration”. Her call for 5050x2020, announced in Cannes in 2016, spearheaded a wide-reaching campaign to accelerate change across the world.

So how did 5050x2020 work out? And more importantly…where do we go from here? Join us on Thursday to find out!
