has released its awards season ballot, recognizing the women whose work behind the camera made this year’s biggest films possible.
As critics and guilds start voting and handing out awards, the WIF #VoteForWomen ballot seeks to remind voters and shine a light on the women and nonbinary film professionals up for consideration. The WIF #VoteForWomen ballot serves to encourage voters to pay closer attention to the screeners they choose to watch and whose work to look out for.
But, each year, as conversations about contenders take place, and reminders of the talent in front of and behind the camera are discussed, more often than not, women filmmakers and artisans often end up being overlooked., Kirsten Schaffer, CEO, of WomenInFilm said, “The inspiration behind WIF’s #VoteForWomen ballot for the past four years has been “abundance.
She went on to say, “We’re excited to recognize more women than ever this year, keeping a regularly-updated spreadsheet on our website that’s easily searchable.” The ballot is also a useful resource for hiring women in key positions. Said Schaeffer, “Even if the women on the ballot didn’t win a trophy, they were part of films that were in the conversation.” She added, “Award shows are an indicator of the overall diversity of the industry.
