Cate Blanchett Calls For Sustainability In Film Industry At TIFF Tribute Awards: “There Is A Moral Imperative To Make This Switch”
Cate Blanchett called for an increased focus on sustainability in the film industry, as well as a continued commitment to uplifting women.
The Carol star began her speech by lightly admonishing herself — “Oh God, technology,” she said — holding up a phone in her hand and joking that she was so “disorganized” that she wasn’t able to prepare her remarks on the teleprompter. With her words at the TIFF Tribute Awards at the Royal York, presented by Joanna Griffiths and the women of Knix, she praised the entertainment world for being at the “forefront” of finding ways to continue operations amid the pandemic. Earlier in her speech, the Disclaimer star called on her peers to continue in the work the women before her had done, who had “so quickly … found the industry calcified around them to exclude them.”
