Panel

Speakers

Join Geena Davis Institute President & CEO Madeline Di Nonno for a robust discussion on why menopause is rarely represented on screen—and when it is, why it’s often treated as a punchline. GDI will reveal its groundbreaking new study, Menopause and Midlife, which exposes how films have portrayed women over 40 during the past five years. Following the research presentation, Madeline will lead a panel featuring actors and advocates Constance Zimmer, Toks Olagundoye and Elisabeth Röhm, along with Dominique Debroux, producer of the new documentary Wise Women – Humanity’s Untold Origins. These storytellers will share insights and best practices for reframing outdated stereotypes and redefining how women’s midlife stories are told on screen.
