The panel brings together experienced women from the film industry in Israel and around the world, as they share their personal stories about building a career in the industry, without filters, in the uncensored, funny, painful and empowering truth.
They talk about the path they took, the mistakes they made and what they learned from them, and will share practical advice that will help you navigate the ever-changing global film industry.
From financing nightmares to festival triumphs, they will answer all the questions, provide practical tools, and offer the advice that they themselves would have liked to have received as they set out, and can now pass on.
The panel is in English. Men are also welcome to join.
