Kering Hosts Ninth Women In Motion Talk in Tokyo

Filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda delivered opening remarks. The discussion featured Amy Homma, Director and President of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures and Academy Collection; singer and actor Kazunari Ninomiya; and film producer Chieko Murata. Film journalist Atsuko Tatsuta moderated the conversation.

Kering’s announced programme addressed Japanese cinema’s international presence, cultural institutions and perspectives on gender, diversity and allyship. The programme included a screening of Lulu Wang’s 2019 film The Farewell, selected by Homma. Women In Motion began in 2015 in partnership with the Cannes Film Festival.

The Japanese talks have been held since 2017.
