b"The great Jill Soloway is the creator, writer, director, and executive producer of TRANSPARENT. While Soloway was at TIFF '16 with the show's third season, they delivered a keynote address at the TIFF Industry Conference on the female gaze \\u2014 which we\\u2019ve reproduced here. On this week\\u2019s TIFF UN/CUT, Soloway\\u2019s keynote address explores the power of the gaze and the ways in which the cis male gaze has historically limited and controlled our view of ourselves and each other. Soloway reclaims the power of the gaze to reflect diverse and important voices while championing protagonism as a means to creative revolution. Jill is currently an ambassador for TIFF\\u2019s Share Her Journey campaign, a five-year initiative prioritizing gender parity within the film industry.
