The entertainment industry has witnessed a significant shift in recent years, with an increasing emphasis on diversity and inclusivity. One such remarkable event that embraced this change was the ‘Future is Diverse’ panel discussion, organized as a collaboration between the Alliance for Women Film Composers, Women in Film and Television NSW (WIFT NSW), and the Australian Guild of Screen Composers (AGSC). The event occurred at the esteemed Church Street Studios and saw a full house of attendees eager to participate in a meaningful and empowering discussion.
Bringing together influential voices from various fields of the film industry, the panel aimed to shed light on the challenges and triumphs women face in their respective professions and how they are shaping the future of entertainment. Caitlin Yeo expertly moderated the discussion, and the panel featured an impressive lineup of influential women, each excelling in their unique roles and fields. Among them were Julie Kalceff, Kylie Aoibheann, Ana Tiwary, Allyson Newman, Angela Little, and Yantra de Vilder.
The ‘Future is Diverse’ panel provided a platform for the panelists to share their experiences, challenges, and successes in their beloved industry. From breaking stereotypes to overcoming gender bias, the panelists spoke candidly about their journeys and the importance of empowering the next generation of women filmmakers and creators.
