What is your leadership style? Just one of the questions answered by our impressive panelists at the Evolution Mallorca International Film Festival, where festival director Sandra Lipski invited Girls On Film to host a panel discussion on women and leadership focused on the creative and commercial side of the industry. Four high-profile women from the industry took the stage with Anna Smith at the Fondacio Sa Nostra in Palma on October 29, 2022. In this recording, you can hear our guests talk about their beginnings in the industry, the importance of mentorship and diversity, and how to lead well with compassion, heart and humor. Moderator: Anna Smith. Executive Producer: Hedda ArchboldAudio Producer: Nic WassellIntern: Ellie HardyHouse Band: MX TyrantsThis episode is in partnership with EMIFF In this episode, our host Anna Smith takes the discourse of feminist cinema to new heights by entering the world of sports. We take a look at the thought-provoking documentary The Wall – Climb for Gold, which focuses on the life, endurance and determination of four female athletes as they prepare for and compete in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Although the focus is on climbers, it is a human story that everyone can relate to. To unpack this inspiring story about endurance and overcoming obstacles, Anna is joined by mountaineer Shauna Coxsey MBE, composer Nainita Desai and editor Emily West. Shauna talks about her experience seeing the film for the first time and seeing the audience`s reactions. Growing up playing sports with her father, Shauna reveals that a French film about a climber inspired her to play the sport. Nainita then delves into the creative process behind her score as a microcosm of what it means to be human and how her score reflects the different personalities of the four women.
Editor-in-chief Emily West reveals when she got involved in the editing process and how important it is to have a female lens to tell a story about women. The Wall – Climb for Gold is available now on Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video. The soundtrack is available on Spotify as four separate singles – each reflecting the personalities and journeys of the film`s four athletes: open.spotify.com/artist/6yyzlTFjuZqptozK4Q9wHOBecome a patron of Girls on Film on Patreon here: www.patreon.com/girlsonfilmpodcast Follow us on Socials: www.instagram.com/girlsonfilm_podcast/ www.facebook.com/girlsonfilmpodcast www.twitter.com/GirlsOnFilm_Pod www.twitter.com/annasmithjourno Watch Girls On Film on the BFI YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLX.
