\n\tCecilia Yip and Rebecca Li Manxuan represented two generations of talent when they appeared at this year\u2019s Kering Women in Motion session in Shanghai and they turned their attention to how they saw the Chinese film industry had evolved.<\/p>\n

\n\tYip first emerged in Chinese-language cinema in the early 1980s \u2013 winning the best actress prize at the Hong Kong Film Awards for Hong Kong 1941<\/em> (1984) \u2013 and recalled how she was immediately struck by the objectification of the actresses she worked with, as much as herself. But times, she said, had slowly changed.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThey used to refer to us as \u2018flower vases\u2019,\u201d said Yip. \u201cIt caused me a lot of distress but it is not a phrase you hear anymore. Women\u2019s roles these days carry real depth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLi \u2013 nominated in Shanghai for the Best Actress in the Asian New Talent Awards for her turn in Like, Happy, Love<\/em> in 2023 \u2013 said she had learned to trust her talents, and to persevere, and that now she was being offered \u201ccharacters with layers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s not like [success] is going to happen right away,\u201d she said. \u201cSometimes a little bit of failure at the beginning may strengthen our motivation and let us know which aspects we can do better.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe discussion came at a time of increasing presence for women and female-centric movies in Chinese cinema, as recent hits including last year\u2019s Shao Yihui-directed comedy Her Story<\/em> ($93 million) and the 2021 groundbreaker Hi, Mom <\/em>from filmmaker Jia Ling, which grossed around $848 million.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe second hosting of the Kering Women in Motion event by the Shanghai International Film Festival continued the French luxury brand\u2019s commitment to highlighting \u201cwomen in arts and culture\u00a0to change mindsets and combat gender inequality\u201d \u2013 an initiative launched in 2015 and which in the past has collaborated with the likes of international A-listers Michelle Yeoh and Julianne Moore to get the message across.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn stage with Yip and Li at the historic Cathay Theater in Shanghai this year were the Tunisian producer Dora Bouchoucha and Peruvian documentarian Carla Guti\u00e9rrez, in town to serve on the main feature and documentary juries, respectively.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe session was designed both to inform and inspire and Bouchoucha looked to her own, vast career as a leading light for women in African and Arab cinema to point the way forward for any young filmmakers in the audience while Guti\u00e9rrez took up the opportunity on stage to share the origins of a career that brought her acclaim for Freda,<\/em> the 2024 documentary on the famed Mexican artist.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI remember that sense of being transported somewhere, that sense of, you know, feeling myself what the character feels,\u201d she said. \u201cThen when I saw this one documentary, I also saw how non-fiction reality is so compelling. It takes you through a journey, it takes you through a ride where you know you become very empathetic to somebody else\u2019s experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFittingly, given all four panelists were tasked with reflecting on their careers, it all came to a close with the question of what message might those gathered share with their younger selves, on the first day of their career. \u201cHave more courage,\u201d said Li as Yip agreed.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor Guti\u00e9rrez the message would be to make more noise. \u201cI\u2019m already a very blunt, loud person. But I would want to tell myself, be louder!\u201d she laughed.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd Bouchoucha finished the session with the advice to \u201cjust be yourself.\u201d \u201cBe true to yourself and just don\u2019t try to please everybody,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
