Kering, official partner of the Cannes International Film Festival, has announced French actress Isabelle Huppert as the face of its third annual Women in Motion programme.

The programme aims to shine the 'spotlight on women's contribution to cinema', and Elle star Huppert will star in the official poster. Chairman and CEO of Kering, François-Henri Pinault commented 'As is still the case in far too many walks of life, women are under-represented and disadvantaged in the film world, despite their priceless contribution to everything that makes cinema what it is. Promoting gender equality lies at the heart of Kering's priorities, which is why I am proud to be involved in this fight, alongside the Festival de Cannes'.
