On Tuesday afternoon in New York City, Chanel and the Tribeca curated an exciting crowd for a luncheon to raise awareness about the long-looming gender discrepancies behind the scenes in Hollywood.
Actresses like Katie Holmes, Dianna Agron, Zosia Mamet, and Cazzie David, and directors like Patti Jenkins (Wonder Woman) and Jennifer Morrison (Euphoria), attended Through Her Lens: The Tribeca Chanel Women’s Filmmaker Program kickoff luncheon, which took place at casual-luxe Italian spot Locanda Verde. Of course, everyone was decked in their best Chanel for the occasion. Stars like Katie Holmes and Tick Tick Boom’s Alexandra Shipp opted for cardigans paired with statement denim, while Dianna Agron wore a sleek trench and Bodies Bodies Bodies’s Chase Sui Wonders looked classic in a pink tweed set. Hollywood names weren’t the only powerhouse women in attendance — global musicians, trailblazing pro skateboarders, and young adult authors also were in the mix.

The luncheon marks the start of a three-day workshop presented by Tribeca and Chanel, in collaboration with Pulse Films, that will empower ten rising filmmakers with project support, master classes, one-on-one mentorship, and peer-to-peer sessions, and will award $100,000 for project development and production.

Ahead of the lunch, Tribeca Film Festival’s Co-Founder and CEO Jane Rosenthal made a brief but powerful speech that addressed the elephant in the (extremely chic) room: the state of women in the film industry is bleak. Are more women in general starring in blockbusters, directing, and producing films these days? Absolutely. But that doesn’t negate the fact that they still make up only a fraction of the industry. (A 2019 survey of the year’s top 100 highest-grossing films found that women comprised only 20% of the writers, directors, producers, editors, and cinematographers.) As much as the luncheon was an opportunity for women to come together and celebrate their wins within the industry, it also served as a reminder that there is still so much more to do.
“As a community, we’ve made meaningful progress, elevating the voices of young female and non-binary talent, but there is still so much work to be done,” said Rosenthal during the event. “It’s time to share your voice, your stories, and your perspective with the industry and with the world. As you engage in this worthy fight, we are here to mentor you, empower you, champion you, and fight alongside you.”
