CHANEL and Tribeca Festival host an intimate discussion to explore the creative journey of Keough and her creative partner Gina Gammell.
Tribeca Festival and Chanel continue to champion women’s voices with the latest installment of their Through Her Lens Conversations series, featuring actor and Chanel ambassador Riley Keough alongside her creative partner, Gina Gammell. Set for June 6 at New York’s Metrograph, the duo will screen select clips from their forthcoming limited series, In Process, offering audiences a rare, intimate glimpse into the nuanced realities of female creativity and artistic collaboration. Moderated by filmmaker and producer Margaret Zhang, the conversation promises to unpack the intricacies and challenges that define the creative journey.
Founded in 2015, Through Her Lens remains one of the industry’s most impactful platforms, fostering emerging filmmakers through dedicated mentorship and funding. Jane Rosenthal, co-founder and CEO of Tribeca, emphasized the importance of mentorship as an active force in reshaping the cinematic landscape, stating that “Mentorship is more than advice—it’s about showing what’s possible and paving the way forward. That’s at the core of Tribeca and CHANEL’s shared mission to drive lasting change in the industry.” Keough and Gammell’s involvement amplifies this, spotlighting the necessary intersection of talent, opportunity, and advocacy within filmmaking.
The event underscores Tribeca and Chanel’s commitment to democratizing access to vital industry insights and resources, making it free and publicly accessible. Through Her Lens’s robust mentorship program continues to offer immersive workshops that bridge script development to final production, bolstered by an advisory committee featuring industry powerhouses such as Jane Fonda, Patty Jenkins, and Kerry Washington. Now celebrating its tenth year, the program has demonstrably transformed careers, launching films that achieve critical acclaim and major festival recognition.
With an impressive record—eight funded winners premiering at festivals like Sundance and TIFF, and distribution secured on platforms including Max, Searchlight, and Criterion—the program consistently centers voices historically sidelined in mainstream storytelling. This upcoming conversation with Keough and Gammell not only highlights individual creative processes but also reiterates a broader mission: ensuring that the future of film truly represents the diversity and depth of women’s experiences.
