- Throughout her career, Alicia has been an advocate for women and girls in film, using her media presence to address issues of gender inequality in one of the world's most visible industries. In her TEDxSanJuanIsland talk, Alicia presents research and personal experiences as a woman in the entertainment industry to highlight the underrepresentation of #GirlsInFilm.
Alicia Malone is a film reporter, critic, TV host, writer, and all around movie geek, appearing on Access Hollywood, E!, MTV, AMC Theaters, Fandango, Afterbuzz TV, BiteSize TV, IGN, Reelz, EPIX, Australia’s Today Show, to name a few.
Alicia travels the world to cover film festivals including Cannes, Toronto, Sundance, SXSW and Comic-Con, and has interviewed nearly every movie star you could name, even hugging all the hot male ones, and Oprah. Hey, she’s only human.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
You were so incredible!! Educational, inspiring, and powerful. So proud of you. Watch out world, here comes Red Fury: The Warrior! xx
Alicia Malone is simply the best!
YOU ARE AMAZING. Just saying...
+Movies With Miri miri! you're the best too! miss you from movie talk
+J Wizzle I second that
Alicia Malone is a total class act human being. She is simply awesome. I love every time she appears on Screen Junkies on TH-cam because she is simply that much of an intelligent and classy presence.
As a man who's interested in filmmaking, I am appalled by the lack of female directors and how women in Hollywood are generally treated. Thank you so much Alicia for being such an Inspiration! You're one of my favorite celebrities!
Fantastic job as always, Alicia. This is a very important conversation and you are doing great work.
Even though I watched this when it first aired, I've been waiting for it to get uploaded to see it again. Alicia just does an amazing job at shedding light on some things that most people don't often think about, but probably should and she does it in a way that's both informative and entertaining. And that's not something a lot of people could do with a topic like this.
Beautifully Done, Alicia! You're an amazing cornerstone in this movement and I envy your passion and dedication to something so important. Always remember that no matter how many people will show you hate, there will be a thousands supporting you and your cause! Great job!
This should have much more views.
We all know firsthand how hard it is to give a speech and even harder still to make it good. +AliciaMalone you are a woman that makes me feel better about my love of film and letting it be a part of me. Women in film need to be like the diversity in film needs to be changed and while i am male i can see that women need to be payed just as much if not sometimes more for their work. Thank you and great talk.
Alicia Malone, I love you so much. I've been watching your videos for a little over two years now. I love the questions you ask the filmmakers you interview. Thank you for doing what you do because without you I wouldn't even consider being in this crazy entertainment business. #MovieJunkie #Thanks #GirlsInFilm
Awesome job Alicia, really informative and great speech. I can not speak for the world but im pretty sure I can speak for Schmoeville in saying we support you.
Excellent speech. I agree that conversation is going to be very important, and I'm glad to know that they are happening. I sometimes fear that conversation and debate, (especially on important topics such as this,) are a dying breed, but it's people like you who remind me that it's alive and well. I've always respected your opinion on film, and I just wanted to say keep up the good work, keep spreading the hugs, and keep the conversation going. I will be willing to engage in it.
This is great.. Love that Alicia Stood up for girls in film and also showed my artwork
super proud of you alicia. from doing schmoes to doing tedtalks now to seeing you on cnn you definitely inspiring, seriously
Alicia Malone, you are such an inspiration! And a role model, you not only inspire women but men too! Much love! :)
The sexism in Hollywood is disgusting. I'm so glad more people are talking about it and exposing it. And Alicia, I'm glad you don't let nasty comments like that get to you. You ARE a Warrior! :)
Never stop giving us your view on movies and hollywood, Alicia! So many of us agree with you whole-heartedly and enjoy listening to your thoughts. It's our job as viewers to give positive/constructive comments and show that the trolls are in a minority, too. Thanks for everything you do. You're a role model! #girlsinfilm #redfury
Incredible Alicia, thank you so much for this! I can't wait to show my middle school students!!
I did a TED Talk about this for a school project and I am so glad someone, particularly you, Alicia, did one!
Alicia has a constant smile that would melt old film reels. What a beauty!
Love it! Great job, Alicia!
Great Talk Alicia! Always great to hear about movies from you.
I cannot tell you how much I loved your talk. #GirlsInFilm is my jam. I am an artist newly dedicating her life to storytelling, and examples like you give me courage to try to change the world. #SJWsAreMyJam #filmgeek #profilerforlife
Wonderful talk, Alicia. Yours is a voice that's much needed in the film industry.
What a thoughtful and insightful presentation!
This was absolutely terrific! You killed it Alicia!
Such an interesting topic Alicia, and one that you can tell is very close to your heart! Beautifully presented and will surely get some people talking. Very proud of you 👍👍
Alicia, you are AMAZING! I saw you first on Movie Fights and was struck by your intelligence and your arguments. Even better, you were very graceful even when you lost. Plus, that Australian accent is so nice to hear!
you go girl .. awesome stuff .
Wonderful talk, Alicia!!! G8 job!!!
That was amazing!! Let's keep this conversation alive!
Always double thumbs up for you, Leesh. Well done, matey. X
I love her, her passion for film is brillian, she's attractive, funny but most importantly she loves movies just as much as I do
I love her, she is so amazing! Thank you
i love it !! you did a great job. I am so proud. This is a cause worth talking about because it benefits everyone .
Great talk, Alicia Malone! Thank you!
Incredible job Alicia. You're an inspiration to us all.
Here's to continuing to talk about this and recognizing the power in supporting each other. Great talk, Alicia!
Wonderful talk Alicia! Far too accurate... Change will happen, gradually maybe, but it's beginning. We will fix this skewered society of inequality...
Great job Alicia! Fantastic and concise overview!
Wonderful job Alicia!!
You go Alicia! :)
This was an awesome speech and it's great that you had the courage to do this kind of thing. Keep fighting for women in film, Red Fury!!
miss you on Collider but it's always nice to see you moving on to great things!
Great talk Alicia! Can only speak for myself, a white male, but I get incredibly bored watching movies, tv or youtube shows if it's a sausage fest. We need more diversity, simple as that.
What an amazing speech Alicia!! Very inspirational and inspiring for all women!
Wonderful job, Alicia!
You are great Alicia!
Great !
Really awesome stuff, I really hope things start changing for #GirlsInFilm!
Alicia, you are the best. You really do an excellent job
I have been waiting so long for this awesome presentation by the overwhelmingly intelligent Alicia "Red Fury" Malone and it was worth it.
Keep doing scary things, Alicia!
You yourself will change the world if you keep inspiring people like that. Its one hell of an awesome feat to inspire people to keep going a conversation worldwide!
Best xmas gift ever, perhaps?
The smart, lovely, articulate, and beautiful Alicia Malone ladies and gentlemen, much love!
I love these comments! I teared up a little bit as I told you then and now it's still as powerful.
Alicia, congratulations on the thought provoking talk.
+Alicia Malone Have enjoyed your work since I saw you on the Schmoes Know show. Great Lecture and keep up the great work!
miss having you on Collider but it's always nice to see you moving on to great things!
Right?
Kicking ass and taking names! Good for you, Alicia. Well, well, well done.
Male voice here. I love you Alicia, and I love this conversation because it's one that needs to be had. Having said that, I want to poke a hole into the argument just ever so slightly. I was a Film and TV grad. I had absolutely no interest in becoming a director (again, male). I wanted to do producing or PR or advertising or just something else that wasn't necessarily on set. I'm definitely not the only male that thought this way, and out of all the women that were in my classes, I'd say maybe 1 or 2 (out of 25-50 person classes) of these women actually had an interest in directing. Obviously my school can't speak for other schools. But simply looking at the 50-50 split of male to female film school grads and then looking at the split of male-female directors isn't fair, because those aren't correlations to be made. Having said all of that, it still is absolutely ridiculous that only 4.1% of films are directed by women. My argument is simply saying that making the connection between film school graduates and directors isn't exactly fair. Again, huge fan, I think 95% of this is eloquently articulated. I just had a problem with that direct connection of film school grads to directors.
You make a fair point wharmon, and there must be some truth in it. The point i would offer is that this is in itself part of the problem of the culture of the industry. Had young girls been brought up believing they could themselves make films, rather than only seeing male directors doing so, there would undoubtedly be more young women seeing themselves in that role, seeing that as a career path, and going for it. That may sound simplistic, but people especially youth, form ideas of what is possible based on what they have seen.
In Germany now, there is roughly 50/50 gender equality in directing, and more women are stepping up into directing globally, undoubtedly buoyed by conversations such as these and more initiatives to support women in these roles. From my own experience, i had wanted to get into cinematography (3% women in that field). When the opportunity came up to join a practical filmmaking course as part of my film degree, i went along. From the door i was faced with a room full of young men - all Jean-Luc Godard wannabes - and one other woman at the other side of the room. Today, nearly twenty years later, i would react differently, but at the time i was intimidated, i felt that it wasn't a space i was going to get a fair shot; i was also painfully aware of my 'difference' and i turned away.
I say this because the outcome you see is not always indicative of people's desires - it's reflective of what they believe to be possible, and also what they believe they will have to go through to get what they want (i.e. lots of mansplaining, exclusion, belittling, and harassment - the norm for many women in majority male domains). This is why, when Rachel Morrison gets an Academy Award nomination, it is such a big deal as it suddenly makes visible a career path that many women may have always seen themselves excluded from. I can hear all the haters saying 'diddums, if you want something just go for it', and yes, that's an option - but at what cost? It's easy to say that from a perspective of privilege, and being treated as worthy without having to prove it first.
I can't speak for the women in your class, or for those *not* in your class, but what you *see* is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to these situations. Until the playing fields are even - in other words, until there has been significant cultural and systemic change - we won't really know for sure who has an interest in directing. But i am 100% sure that it if the field were even, there would be well over 4% of women directing, and many more than 12.6% of directors would be POC also. This disparity is unsustainable; the industry has no choice now but to change - or be changed.
Great Job, Alicia! #GirlsInFilm
I found that very informative
Awesome Speech! Well done Alicia! :)
You are one of my absolute favorite personalities.
This was a great watch! It's a pleasure to listen to you talk about these important issues. I hope you continue to bring them up in your interviews as well, it would be super interesting to hear what the A-listers think about gender inequality in Hollywood. #GirlsInFilm
Ps. Greetings from Finland!
Great job Alicia!
Congratulations +Alicia Malone , what an eloquent and meaningful talk with a great call to action! #WhoYourWit ;)
Go Red Fury! Schmoeville is behind you! #GirlinFilm
This is amazing, you should be so proud of yourself :)
Red Fury you are a superhero!!!! You are the reason I have become interested in Classical Movies, as well as just fascinated with movies in general!! What is your top 5 i should watch first? Being a 90's baby chances are I probably have not seen a lot! #whoruntheworld #inspiration #RedFury!
+Morgan K oh also you are my favorite to watch on screen junkies! sorry Andy and Dan but we need more Alicia!!
Awesome video
Huzzah! You're fantastic, Alicia!
What's up with these dislikes .. She is awesome !!
Does anyone know where that Oprah interview is?
I'm a bit selfish, I want more variety in film and TV. I can't think of a better way to get this than to get the other 51% of the population (That'd be the women) behind the scenes doing more of the directing, producing, writing and so on. SJW Red Fury to the resuce! Rock on ladies.
Well done, Alicia!
Classic movies are the best!
I can only imagine how nerve wracking it must be to give a speech in front of an audience like that. You did a wonderful job.
Alicia Malone is a Goddess.
*applauds*
Freakin love rear window. Great job Alicia! keep on keepin on!
Great job Alicia.
9:06 - This is how you deal with haters! Well done Alicia well done!
Good job Alicia!
Tom Hardy and Daniel Craig are my male feminist queens. Along with Chris Pratt, Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Colin Firth. Jeremy Renner needs to take a hint.
I new this was an issue in Hollywood, but not to that extend. Very eye-opening.
YEAH ALICIA!!!!!!! You are such an awesome person. #filmgeek #redfury!!!!!!
6:00 ok, I'll take that challenge, from the 2000s alone: Iris, Veronica Guerin, Amelia, La Vie en Rose, Wild, A Mighty Heart, Blind Side, Iron Lady, Danish Girl (Alicia Vickander has a big role in it), Hours, Fur, Sylvia, The Impossible, Calendar Girls, Philomena, Mrs Henderson Presents (I think), North Country, Albert Nobbs......
You have some good arguments (women not getting directing opportunities), but there's plenty of roles for women, they don't always gross high.
+okonh0wp It is really disappointing to see that Alicia has been taken in by the third wave feminist narratives about the film industry. I agree about the directing side of things, but women are not always playing stereotypes or bimbos. In fact some of the best roles have been female in the last several decades. It almost came across as if she was talking about 1950's and 60's movies and not now.
All up this talk was more about her personal experiences and subjective view about the industry whilst trying to project it as the norm. Her outrage at idiotic comments and harassment online is cherry picked and misinformed.Pew research shows in general that men receive more harassment online than women, especially celebrities.
You've listed 18 films from well over a decade (Wild is 2014 and The Danish Girl 2015) and yet there have been *hundreds* of films released, the overwhelming majority of which do not have female protagonists, and many do not even have named female characters with speaking parts.
You proved Alicia's point with your comment. It's been two years since you wrote this comment, I really hope your perspective has been changed by the facts since then.
Your speech is very impressive. You are a very beautiful, intelligent young lady. I see big things in your future.
13mins is a good length :p
Why can't a girl/woman be successful AND attractive? Shouldn't be 2 opposing goals ^_^
Thumbs up for #GirlsInFilm
My film teacher - Megan Roberts - is on IMDB
Red Fury for the win!
Red Fury!
Alicia I love you.
It's pathetic that you've been called a Femenazi and sad that you get attacked. You're so informative, awesome and respectful. Great TED talk!
Beauty and brains.
9:04 - Nice that you blurred out the names of the tweets.
lol I'm the president of my one person film club too
Red Fury!!!!
Malone for president
