Happy International Women's Day you champs👊🏻🌞🌷⭐️🇺🇸 • • • Today is such an important day for listening to and celebrating women- there is no greater privilege than having my work screened at the Women's International Film & Arts Festival in New York City 📽🎞🗽📽🎞🗽 • • • Representation matters. Research from the Geena Davis Institute on gender in Media shows that male characters have, on average, twice as much screen time and/or dialogue as female characters in film. Further research shows that for 1 in 9 women report, on screen positive female role models had given them the courage to leave abusive relationships. • • • We are seeing a sea change, but we have so much more to achieve- particularly for underrepresented women- women of colour, trans women, women with disability. • • • Celebrate women. Listen. Represent. • • • • #womeninfilm #womeninfilmandtelevision #womensinternationalfilmandartsfestival #newyorkcity #femalefilmmaker #feministfilm #internationalwomensday #actor #director #irishfilmmaker #film #cinema #irishfilm #irishinnyc #feminism #intersectionalfeminism #feminist
