Women In Motion with Hirokazu Kore-eda and Chie Hayakawa - May 16For the 10th edition of Women In Motion, Kering brought together Directors Hirokazu Koreeda and Chie Hayakawa to discuss filmmaking in Japan and the impact women make on set. Koreeda spoke about the current state of the film industry in Japan, noting that it's challenging to make films at present. However, there has been a significant increase in female directors and filmmakers, making a positive impact on the industry in Japan. He also advocated for better working conditions in Japan, specifically mentioning how he thinks the work day should be finished before dinner time, instead of the current system where filmmakers will go to work after dinner. Hayakawa spoke on the power dynamic in filmmaking and how, in her films, she has become very aware of how she depicts gender roles and how she is making an effort to break gender roles. Their 30-minute discussion was an active call to action for filmmakers in Japan, urging other filmmakers to break the typical gender roles and offer women more powerful positions in the industry. ![]()
