The 64-year-oldwas happy to pose alongside Meryl Streep, whose latest film Suffragette was also being showcased.

It is sure to garner plenty of attention given the gender imbalance that still exists in the world today.

Meryl was clearly proud to be a part of the period drama and on Friday night attended a party to celebrate the film at Arroyo Wine Bar in Telluride, Colorado.

The three-time Oscar winner, 66, stars as Emmeline Pankhurst, the British political activist who helped women gain the right to vote.

Gavron also shared that it has taken 100 years for the story to reach the screen, and dished that she’s been wanting to get the ball rolling for nearly a decade. 

Kate Winslet was also in attendance on Saturday - her latest film, Steve Jobs, which she stars in with Michael Fassbender is also on the line up list.

The movie, which is premiering at the event, and is directed by Danny Boyle, is a biographical drama about the Apple co-founders life.
