"The Comprehensive Annenberg Report on Diversity (CARD) assesses inclusion on screen and behind the camera in fictional films, TV shows, and digital series distributed by 10 major media companies (21st Century Fox, CBS, Comcast NBC Universal, Sony, The Walt Disney Company, Time Warner, Viacom, Amazon, Hulu, and Netflix). Movies theatrically released in 2014 by the major studios or their art house divisions were included in the sample, provided they met a certain threshold of domestic box office performance (see Appendix A).¹ Prime-time first run scripted series as well as digital offerings airing from September 1st 2014 to August 31st 2015 were sampled on broadcast, popular basic cable, premium channels or streaming services associated with the companies listed above (see Appendix B).² In total, the sample included 414 stories or 109 motion pictures and 305 broadcast, cable, and digital series. The major unit of analysis was the speaking or named character.³ Each speaking character was assessed for role, demographics, domesticity, and hypersexualization.4 Behind the camera, the gender of directors and writers of each film and every episode within a sampled series was evaluated. Race/ethnicity was assessed for directors of movies as well as those helming the season premiere episode of television/digital programs. Finally, the gender composition of CEOs, members of executive suites, boards of directors, and employees at the Executive" [Taken from the executive summary included in the report] Notes: Available at: http://annenberg.usc.edu/pages/~/media/MDSCI/CARDReport%20FINAL%2022216.ashx More info

Source: US Publisher: University of Southern California PubDate: 2013 PhysDes: 43p. : ill. ; 30cm Subject: WOMEN FILM WORKERS; WOMEN FILMMAKERS; WOMEN AND THE CINEMA; WOMEN DIRECTORS; WOMEN, FILMS MADE BY Summary: "The purpose of this research is to examine how females are faring in American independent film. Studies have been conducted in the past on women in the mainstream U.S film industry, but little research has yet been done in the U.S independent film arena. To this end, we developed a research strategy with a two-prong approach. First, we quantitatively document the involvement of female content creators of U.S films at the Sundance Film Festival, assessing the gender of 11,197 directors, writers, producers, cinematographers, and editors across 820 films classified as U.S narratives (534 films) or documentaries (286 films) between 2002 and 2012. The second prong documents the qualitative experiences of female filmmakers through interviews with emerging and seasoned content creators as well as key industry gate-keepers. Here, we surveyed 51 individuals to unpack the specific obstacles that face female directors and producers in the independent film arena. We also assessed participants' perceptions of opportunities that may increase women's involvement behind the camera" -- taken from the Executive Summary Notes: This research was commissioned by the Sundance Insitute and Women in Film Los Angeles thorugh their 'Women Filmmakers Initiative'.

From Snow White to Moana, from Pinocchio to Frozen, the animated films of Walt Disney Studios have moved and entertained millions. But few fans know that behind these groundbreaking features was an incredibly influential group of women who fought for respect in an often ruthless male-dominated industry and who have slipped under the radar for decades. In The Queens of Animation, bestselling author Nathalia Holt tells their dramatic stories for the first time, showing how these women infiltrated the boys' club of Disney's story and animation departments and used early technologies to create the rich artwork and unforgettable narratives that have become part of the American canon. As the influence of Walt Disney Studios grew — and while battling sexism, domestic abuse, and workplace intimidation — these women also fought to transform the way female characters are depicted to young audiences. With gripping storytelling, and based on extensive interviews and exclusive access to archival and personal documents, The Queens of Animation reveals the vital contributions these women made to Disney's Golden Age and their continued impact on animated filmmaking, culminating in the record-shattering Frozen, Disney's first female-directed full-length feature film. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9780316439145 Contents: Preface -- Timeline -- One day when we were young -- Whistle while you work -- When you wish upon a star -- Waltz of the flowers -- Little April shower -- Baby mine -- Aquarela do Brasil -- You're in the army now -- Zip-a-dee-doo-dah -- So this is love -- In a world of my own -- You can fly! -- Once upon a dream -- Dalmatian plantation -- It's a small world -- Up, down, touch the ground -- Part of your world -- I'll make a man out of you -- For the first time in forever -- Happily ever after -- Acknowledgements -- Notes -- Index.

The emergence of a globalized network of film festivals has enabled these young directors to make and circulate films that are changing the aesthetics and politics of art house cinema and challenging feminist genealogies. Extending formal analysis to the production and reception contexts of a variety of feature films, White explores how women filmmakers are both implicated in and critique gendered concepts of authorship, taste, genre, national identity, and human rights. Women's Cinema, World Cinema revitalizes feminist film studies as it argues for an alternative vision of global media culture." -- BACK COVER BOOK BLURB Notes: Formerly CIP; Also issued online; Includes filmography; Includes bibliographical references (pages 235-246) and index ISBN: 9780822358053 Contents: -- acknowledgments -- introduction -- To each her own cinema : world cinema and the woman cineaste : Jane Campion's Cannes connections; Lucrecia Martel's vertiginous authorship; Samira Makhmalbaf's sororal cinema -- Framing feminisms : women's cinema as art cinema : Deepa Mehta's elemental feminism; Iranian diasporan women directors and cultural capital -- Feminist film in the age of the chick flick : global flows of women's cinema : engendering new Korean cinema in Jeong Jae-eun's Take care of my cat; Nadine Labaki's celebrity -- Network narratives : Asian women directors two-timing the system in Nia Dinata's Love for share -- Zero Chou and the spaces of Chinese lesbian film -- Is the whole world watching?

book		Women vs Hollywood : the fall and rise of women in film / Helen O'Hara London: Robinson, 2021. Call No: 45[3-02] OHA Author: O'Hara, Helen Edition: 2021 Place: London Publisher: Robinson PubDate: 2021 PhysDes: xiii, 354 pages ; 24 cm Subject: WOMEN FILM WORKERS; FRANCHISES; ME TOO Summary: A call to arms from Empire magazine’s ‘geek queen’, Helen O’Hara, that explores women’s roles – both in front of and behind the camera – since the birth of Hollywood, how those roles are reflected within wider society and what we can do to level the playing field. Hollywood was born just over a century ago, at a time of huge forward motion for women’s rights. With no rules in place to stop them, there were women who forged ahead in many areas of filmmaking. Yet, despite the work of early pioneers like Dorothy Arzner, Mabel Normand, Mary Pickford and Alice Guy-Blaché, it soon came to embody the same old sexist standards. Women found themselves fighting a system that fed on their talent, creativity and beauty but refused to pay them the same respect as their male contemporaries – until now... The tide has finally begun to turn. A new generation of women, both in front of and behind the camera, are making waves in the industry and are now shaping some of the biggest films to hit our screens. In Women vs Hollywood: The Fall and Rise of Women in Film, film critic Helen O’Hara takes a closer look at the pioneering and talented women of Hollywood and their work in film since Hollywood began. And in understanding how women were largely written out of Hollywood’s own origin story, and how the films we watch are put together, we can finally see how to put an end to a picture that is so deeply unequal – and discover a multitude of stories out there just waiting to be told. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9781472144430 More info
