Women in Film with Ari Wegner

60 mins

Synopsis

Join the Screen Vixens annual gathering for a conversation with Academy Award nominated cinematographer Ari Wegner (The Power of the Dog).

In this special session, Wegner reflects on her career, craft, and navigating a traditionally male-dominated field. Moderated by Aimée Lindorff. Followed by a Screen Vixens and WIFT meet-up for any women passionate about filmmaking!

WIFT NSW champions women and gender-diverse creatives across all career stages and areas of the screen industry. It offers professional development, access to industry networks, mentorship programs, leadership pathways, and a like-minded, supportive community.

Screen Vixens is a professional community for women indie screen producers who no longer want to work in isolation; a space to connect, share knowledge and build sustainable careers together.
