Oxford University’s Cultural Programme, along with the co-sponsors Ghetto Film School and USC’s Annenberg Inclusion Initiative is all set to organize a free day of talks, screenings, and conversations on May 12, 2025. For this celebration, Surface star Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Bridgerton actor Simone Ashley will join to celebrate the women in film and explore the changes in the representation and perception of women in the industry. Other industry voices will also share their experiences during the event.

Josie Bamford, Executive Producer for the Cultural Programme, said, "As we build our programme towards the opening of the new Schwarzman Centre at Oxford University, we passionately believe in bringing together incredible artists, creatives and thinkers to help address some of the biggest issues facing the world at this time. It is an honour to welcome Simone Ashley, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Dr Stacy L. Smith and many others to Oxford’s iconic Sheldonian Theatre for a day that celebrates how women are shaping change and progress in the film and television industry."

Professor Irene Tracey CBE, FRS, FMedSci, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford, said, "I am delighted that Oxford University’s Cultural Programme is bringing together leading industry talent, up-and-coming filmmakers, and Oxford researchers to celebrate and discuss the critical role of women in the film industry. The interaction between people with such rich and diverse experiences is sure to spark fascinating conversations. I hope many in the local community, as well as University members and alumni, will join us to enjoy these events in Oxford on 12 May."
