Nicole Kidman Talks Viral ‘Babygirl’ TikToks & Gives Mascha Schilinski’s ‘Sound Of Falling’ A Shoutout During Cannes Talk


Nicole Kidman receives Kering's 2025 Women In Motion Award this evening in Cannes.

“It’s extraordinary to have that avenue for that film to be discovered,” Kidman continued, telling the audience that social media now provides filmmakers with new and exciting ways to disseminate their work. “At that time, I was at a point where we were having discussions about the disparity,” Kidman said, adding that there simply weren’t many women filmmakers out there being given the opportunity to make features. Kidman said she sought out women filmmakers like Karyn Kusama, with whom she made Destroyer (2018), and gave them her backing while also equipping them with a “force field of protection so that they can do their best work” and not feel like they only have one chance to get things right.
