Today, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences released the next episode in its "Academy Dialogues: It Starts with Us" conversation series titled "Reaching Gender Equity in Hollywood," available now on YouTube. Anita Hill, chair of the Hollywood Commission on Eliminating Sexual Harassment and Advancing Equality and professor at Brandeis University, Heller School for Social Policy and Management, moderates this conversation with Oscar®-winning actor Geena Davis ("A League of Their Own"), award-winning filmmaker Alma Har'el ("Honey Boy"), Academy governor and composer Laura Karpman ("Lovecraft Country"), and EVP Creative for Sony Pictures Animation and Oscar-winning producer Karen Rupert Toliver ("Hair Love") about their personal journeys to becoming agents of change.
In their discussion, they explore how women of all ages see themselves depicted in the far-reaching world of movies, and how to bring more role models on screen and behind the camera. Would increasing the number of females in decision-making positions usher in a work culture that allows full expression of women's abilities, leadership skills, intellect and strength? This Academy Dialogue dives into what true equity and inclusion means, how it will inevitably lead to a safer work environment and how to normalize and amplify female leadership and empowerment. The "Academy Dialogues" series concludes this month with the following conversations:Academy Dialogues: "Owning Your Brand"Watch the conversation here:
