Sex and Power: The Transformation of Film Industry in The Post #metoo Era

The #metoo movement has been an important hashtag on social media since 2017, it helped victims to step up and face the issues of authority structure and sexual oppression. Mainstream entertainment industries such as Hollywood, where the situation is dire, are doing what they can to raise awareness of the issue. But other places like Taiwan and Vancouver are also putting much effort in dealing with systematic sexism as well.

Nina Wu responds to the #metoo movement impressively. Wu Ke-Xi, who is the screenwriter and the lead actress of Nina Wu, will have a virtual conversation with Carleen Kyle, the President of Women in Film and TV Vancouver. They will discuss the differences of underlying rules in the film industry between Taiwan and Vancouver, and the lessons learned from each other, which include the hard times they have been through as female professionals and the improvements that have been made so far. Hopefully in the near future, dream pursuers no longer need to surrender their body and sex to exchange for fame.
