Women’s perspectives in the big Hollywood productions might not be easy to spot but the stories told by the movies we watch are affected by every job behind the camera: screenwriters, cinematographers, producers and directors. How many women are working behind the camera, and in what capacity? What does it mean when there’s a woman producer or director behind a film? What happens when film sets are mostly male and how does that affect what stories we watch on the big screen? We’ll discuss the current status of the filmmaking industry, what that means for women – both those behind and in front of the camera and those watching it on the big screen – and whether there’s any indication the situation is changing.
