During the Berlinale, Women in Film & Television International (Wifti) and post-production house Chimney launched a new gender equality initiative. Wifti unveiled 10% for 50/50, which provides rebates to gender-balanced productions.
Participating production and post houses, facility houses, and other service and tech providers will offer 10 percent rebates to projects that hire women-identifying individuals in four out of eight key roles, as outlined by ReFrame: writer, director, producer, lead, co-lead, speaking parts, department heads, and crew.
