Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance took the award for Best Feature at the annual Girls On Film Awards while Emilia Pérez and Hard Truths star Marianne Jean-Baptiste took awards for Best Ensemble and Best Actress respectively.
The fourth edition of the awards, which were held at London’s Curzon Bloomsbury on Sunday, celebrated exceptional achievements by women and people of marginalized genders in the film space. Hosted by Girls On Film co-founders Anna Smith and Hedda Lornie Archbold, the awards put a spotlight on women-led filmmaking with a particular focus on diversity, inclusion and representation.
Fargeat, who is nominated for Best Director at the Academy Awards this year, was in attendance to collect her award and she told the audience that The Substance “was meant for me to mirror what women have to face in their everyday life by society and it’s not nice, it’s not subtle and it’s not delicate.”
Shiori Ito’s Black Box Diaries won Best Documentary and the Activist Impact Award while Mike Leigh picked up the Ally Award, an award given to a male ally in the film industry who has shown a commitment to the representation of women.
“In today’s challenging world, it’s more important than ever for diverse women to support each other,” said Smith and Lornie Archbold. “This year’s nominations reflect the spirit of sisterhood and the power of film to inspire, inform and create community. These awards honor the strength of storytelling in fostering diversity, equity and inclusion.”
The full awards ceremony will be available as a special episode on the hit podcast Girls On Film.
