Beskrivning
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 open access 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. Now About All These Women in the Swedish Film Industry 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 Bloomsbury Collections.

Now About All of These Women in the Swedish Film Industry is a triumph! Not only for the academic feminism and film movement which dates from 1975, but also for the contemporary struggle for gender diversity in national film and television industries worldwide. While other nations remain frustrated in their attempts to achieve gender diversity in the media industry workplace, Sweden achieved their goal of “50/50 by 2020,” only to back off the commitment in the name of “artistic freedom.” Around this recent drama in which they came so close, four Swedish feminist academics position historical profiles, case studies, and interviews from the 1910s to the present. Then, they tell the rest of the world not to give up. There is no other industry that has come this close—and there is no other book quite like this one that has ever been published in either film and media studies or feminist studies.
