The World Woman Foundation congratulates Iulia Vâ The World Woman Foundation congratulates Iulia Vântur on the powerful launch of Echoes of Us, an award-winning English short film marking her acting debut alongside veteran actor Deepak Tijori.

Directed by Joe Rajan and produced by Pooja Batra, the film courageously explores themes of grief, emotional neglect, and the unseen emotional labor many women carry within relationships. Through an intimate and deeply human narrative, Echoes of Us challenges audiences to reflect on the voices too often unheard behind closed doors. 🎬

At the World Woman Foundation, we believe storytelling is one of the most powerful tools for advancing empathy, equality, and cultural transformation. Highlighting projects like Echoes of Us is important because cinema has the ability to spark conversations that society often avoids—especially around women’s emotional experiences, visibility, and value within personal and social structures.

As the global entertainment industry continues to evolve, stories led by emotional truth and authentic female narratives are essential in shaping a more compassionate and conscious future. We celebrate the entire team behind Echoes of Us for creating a film that not only moves audiences, but also inspires deeper dialogue around humanity, relationships, and women’s voices. 🌍✨

During the celebrations at the iconic Festival de Cannes, Iulia Vântur also joined Rupa Dash at the exclusive VIP Reception at La Scène Artistique, bringing together global voices in film, culture, and impact-driven storytelling on the sidelines of Cannes.

Right from the heart of Festival de Cannes, the Wo Right from the heart of Festival de Cannes, the World Woman Cannes Agenda made Her Story center stage.

With 2M+ eyeballs reached through our digital outdoor media campaign, we witnessed something powerful: when women’s voices are amplified, the world pays attention.

In an era of exponential technology and AI, investing in women storytellers is no longer optional — it is essential. The stories shaping the future of humanity cannot be built from one lens alone. Women bring perspective, empathy, creativity, courage, and truth that the world urgently needs.

From filmmakers and journalists to founders, artists, and changemakers, Cannes became a global reminder that representation is not just visibility — it is influence, power, and legacy.

The future of AI, media, culture, and leadership must include women not only at the table, but behind the camera, in the boardroom, writing the narratives, and shaping the algorithms.

Her story is shaping history.
