A Message from Our Founder
SHE STATEMENT 2025:
PRESCENCE WITH PURPOSE
Each year, we define a statement that embodies our vision and goals—both for our community and for our presence at the festival.
For 2025, our She Statement is "Presence with Purpose"—a commitment to not just showing up, but taking the lead and creating our own opportunities. At Yes She Cannes, we believe that being present at major industry events like Cannes is just the beginning; what truly matters is how we step into those spaces with confidence, intention, and impact.
Presence with Purpose is about amplifying our voices, forging meaningful connections, and shaping our own paths—rather than waiting for doors to open. It’s a call to action for women in film to challenge outdated industry norms, build new opportunities for themselves and others, and ensure that they are not just part of the conversation—but leading it.
CODE OF CONDUCT
We have introduced a Code of Conduct, which we expect all members of our community, as well as our collaborators, sponsors, and affiliates, to adhere to. This Code serves as a foundation for fostering a respectful, inclusive, and supportive environment for everyone involved with Yes She Cannes.
