Women directed 46% of animated shorts in France in 2023 but only 27% of feature films, up from 21% in 2013. At Annecy 2025, 48% of Mifa Pitch projects are led by women, yet just 17% of Official Feature Film directors are female.
A recent report by the European Audiovisual Observatory shows that women hold just 27% of roles in European TV and SVOD fiction production. Key creative fields like cinematography and composing remain at only 10% female. At the current pace, full gender parity won’t be reached until a couple of decades.
Developed by a team of diverse backgrounds, the show aims to close the gender gap in STEM by inspiring young girls to engage with science and technology. With three episodes already in development, "Zoe & Olly" is being showcased internationally.
The lineup includes "Second Nature", a TV-hour narrated by Elliott Page about sexuality and gender diversity in animals; and "#Hvaldimir, Conversation With a Spy Whale."
