Document Summary
Directors and gender equality in the canadian screen based industries. Unions are important for actors and stuff. Must have 6 of those 10 people for it to be considered canadian content. Crisis of representation of who shapes our stories on screen. It"s highly competitive, struggle is not gender neutral. Women are not prominently in directing or leading positions/ key creative positions. Men dominate the technical work (light, special effects, camera) Lots of graphs that show how men and women are equal in the beginning but as the occupations become more key there is a huge split with men dominating the thing. Women screen writers earn less, hold less positions over all the creative process, less credits. Women performers earn way less than men. It affects women, isn"t created by women and can"t be solved women although we are trying. There is no evidence to support claims that diversifying the training pool will substantially improve labour market outcomes for female directors".
