Global Symposiums 2014
Our global symposiums were held:
New York, McGraw Hill, Sept. 22
Washington D.C., U.S. Institute of Peace, Sept. 23 – Watch Video
Los Angeles, AMC Century City 15, Oct. 6
Our symposiums convene leading CEOs and decision makers in the entertainment industry, corporations and non-profit organizations interested in the empowerment of women and girls.
We presented research findings from the first-ever Global Gender in Film Study, Gender Bias without Borders , which analyzes female character representation and portrayals in the top 11 theatrical box office grossing countries.
The study investigates each country’s locally produced films including: Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Russia, South Korea, United Kingdom, and United States. This is a quantitative study that looks at a number of key data points including representation comparisons, portrayals, attributes, sexuality, and careers.
The symposiums centered around high-level panel discussions focusing on the impact of global film on women and girls as well as best practices to drive change.
