Kaye Ann Williams, senior manager: M-Net 101 script, reality, films, co-productions, moderated the Women in Film panel discussion at kykNET's 10th Silwerskerm Film Festival currently taking place at The Bay Hotel in Camps Bay, Cape Town, where female panellists in film and TV production shared their experiences of the local industry and how to foster opportunities and embrace challenges.
"I've cried in meetings against my better judgment, fighting against who I actually am all the time until I got to a point where I said to myself I've got to live in the power of being a woman, of being the feminine and knowing what I can contribute to a space or environment or a project." "The spaces where it's been equal, who look like me – who are Black and women – are spaces usually that I've created; it's rooms where I've consciously tried to diversify that. You can never forget your positionality in that room; you can never forget your politics and the politics of your body in that space.
Davids also shared with delegates a story of how sometimes it's also women – not just men – bringing other women down.
