In the aftermath of the MeToo movement, during an ongoing pandemic,
and in the midst of repeated demands for a 50/50 split between men
and women in above-the-line positions, this book analyzes and
interrogates the politics of gender focusing on the Swedish film
industry, often considered to be the most "gender equal" film
industry worldwide. While this gender equality (with a considerable
proportion of women behind the camera) is much due to policies
carried out of the state funded Swedish Film Institute, women
filmmakers in Sweden still struggle with the same problems as do
women in other national film industries. These problems entail
having smaller production and distribution budgets than men and
working in an environment involving recurring scandals of gender
discrimination and sexual harassment. This open access book looks
behind the statistics and explores the often complex cultural,
legal, and political conditions under which women have entered a
male-dominated industry and discusses women's strategies and
efforts to promote change while providing evidence on how women's
presence has challenged the industry by provoking critical
reactions and introducing new ways to portray women on screen.
Using a wide range of different sources (e.g. archival material,
laws, contracts, films, biographical materials, and interviews),
the book tells the history of the rise of gender equality efforts
undertaken by the Swedish Film Institute and investigates women's
possibilities to manage the rights to their work. It offers
compelling portraits of pioneering women who have worked in or in
relation to the industry and looks at the experiences of women
currently working in the film industry. The ebook editions of this
book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on
bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by OErebro
universitet.
