Projection du film "Bombshell" avec présence de la réalisatrice Alexandra Dean

The United States Mission in Geneva invites you to a unique screening of "Bombshell," the story of Hedy Lamarr, a 1940s film idol, whose beauty and glamour overshadowed her true talent as an inventor. Her work revolutionized telecommunications and would eventually force the world to recognize that it had greatly underestimated the contributions of a woman.

Director Alexandra Dean will introduce the film. The screening will be followed by a Q&A focusing on the underrepresentation of women in science and technology and the challenges women innovators face bringing their ideas to fruition.
Key questions for discussion will include:

• What are the challenges women inventors face?
• What regulatory changes can help eliminate barriers?
• What role can international organizations play in supporting women inventors and entrepreneurs?
