Women in Motion Award at Festival de Cannes

0 Comments

Kering and the Festival de Cannes are pleased to present the 2023 Women In Motion Emerging Talent Award to Carmen Jaquier

Women in Motion has been a part of Cannes Film Festival since 2015 awarding emearging women talents in the film industry. In parallel, the Women In Motion Award recognizes the careers and commitments of emblematic figures from the film world: Jane Fonda (2015), Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis (2016), Isabelle Huppert (2017), Patty Jenkins (2018), Gong Li (2019), Salma Hayek (2021), Viola Davis (2022) and, this year, Michelle Yeoh. 

As part of the ninth edition of Women In Motion, Kering and the Festival de Cannes awarded the Emerging Talent Prize for the first directed feature film. This prize included a 50,000 euros grant to support the creation of her next film project. As in every year since 2019, the preceding Prize winner chooses her successor. This year, Sweden's Ninja Thyberg selected Swiss director Carmen Jaquier. 

"I am very grateful to receive this award, especially from a visionary and inspiring director like Ninja Thyberg. Thanks to Women In Motion, I have a feeling of sorority, which touches me and gives me hope in this desire I have for reflection, rebellion, and transmission. I have special feelings for all the people - technicians, producers, screenwriters, actresses and actors - who fiercely committed themselves to my side for my first feature film, Thunder." Carmen Jaquier quoted by Kering.

Ninja Thyberg said about this film: "Thunder is an incredibly beautiful, life-affirming and innovative film that challenges conventional ideas of sexuality, God, pain and redemption. Carmen Jaquier is one hundred percent loyal to her female protagonist and this film has a truly female gaze. It is a great honor to pass on this award to her."
