Historically, women have been significantly underrepresented in key roles such as directors, producers and writers. “By implementing programmes that address the challenges we can generate solutions and present opportunities.”Multi-award-winning film director Sihle Hlophe manages to overcome the challenges in a number of ways.
Noluthando Rotwane, the founder of the She Fest, also aims to create platforms for women in a thorny film industry. In its second year, She Fest —which took place earlier this year at Constitution Hill in Johannesburg — is an event celebrating the talents of women in the creative film industry. “There was a lack of job creation and opportunities available for women in the industry.”
A non-profit organisation, Swift is committed to championing empowerment and access to equal opportunities for women in the film industry.
