Women鈥檚 involvement behind the camera in UK film since 2000 will be explored by and 聽over the next four years, thanks to a half million pound grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).
鈥淲omen are becoming more prominent in film with directors such as Phyllida Lloyd (Mamma Mia) and Jane Campion (The Piano) but we want to know more about their roles elsewhere in the industry,鈥� says Linda.
The researchers will carry out around 50 interviews with women who work as editors, writers, cinematographers, directors, producers and executive producers to record their experiences, aided by a research assistant and two PhD students. They will also consider the impact of the UK Film Council鈥檚 initiative between 2000 and 2011 to encourage woman鈥檚 career progression in the industry. The project鈥檚 results will establish the start of a history of women filmmakers in the 21st century.
