Global Women’s Voices: Directors in Conversation

Our Director, Melanie Iredale , will moderate Global Women’s Voices: Directors in Conversation - an online event bringing together Maïmouna Doucouré  (director of the upcoming Josephine Baker biopic) and Chie Hayakawa  (whose Renoir premiered at Cannes). With translation by Yoshiko Okuro , the discussion will explore their creative process, inspirations and long-term goals, alongside a candid look at sustainability in practice and the state of the industry today. Date:  Tuesday 7 October 2025 Time:  18:00 - 19:30 BST Tickets:   Book via Eventbrite The roundtable will offer practical takeaways for filmmakers from eco-conscious workflows and festival strategies to funding routes and career resilience. Designed for writers, directors, producers and development leads, the event will end with an audience Q&A: bring your questions and get ready to position yourself for 2026 and beyond.
