Documentarian Marianna Brennand to Receive Kering’s Women in Motion Emerging Talent Award at Cannes
Documentarian Marianna Brennand is being recognized for her groundbreaking work with Kering's Women in Motion Emerging Talent Award at Cannes
“Manas started a little more than 10 years ago when I first heard of what was happening in Marajó Island in the north of Brazil, with young girls and women being sexually exploited on the barges of the Japurá,” Brennand says. In addition to co-writing a script that deliberately avoids showing onscreen depictions of violence against women, Brennand emphasized the importance of giving Correa and the other young actresses on set a female director to look up to. In honor of a decade of Women in Motion, Kering also unveiled an “in-depth study on the evolution of gender equality in film” from Dr. Stacy L. Smith, founder of the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative.
