Launch of the 50/50 bible, the professional directory of diversity
The 50/50 bible platform went online in November 2019. This professional directory in favour of diversity and parity aims to bring about concrete change behind the camera. Talents, from diverse social, ethnic and cultural backgrounds are able to gain visibility through this platform, as a way to escape discrimination and determinism. As for recruiters, they can easily access mixed and gender-balanced technical and artistic teams, going beyond usual practices and prejudices.
