“The film industry fails to reflect the population”
“My favorite movie starts with the man dressing in a hurry before a business meeting. The eye is rolös and your feet stomping. His skjortsnibbar is raised, but the attempts to tie the tie will be for flaxiga.”
“the Wife comes to the rescue. She’s throwing together a windsor, kisses on the cheek and waving goodbye.”
“Cut to in the past.”
“In a series of strong scenes explained the origins of how the household as wearing a tie has become so lousy at dealing with it and vice versa. Something about a halshatande sect, something about his wife’s work placement with a tailor.”
“It is a pity that the film does not exist. It is still only at the concept stage in the author Eileen Curtrights head. The world had measure good to deepen two of the television medium’s most worn-out roles: slipsknyterskan and her svagmotoriske man.”
“Of the week hit Stockholm’s Feminist film Festival is the alarm that fewer and fewer films with female directors in Sweden. In 2018, 80 percent of movies, and 83 per cent of them on Netflix directed by men.”
” It is alarming. Film shapes us and our beliefs about ourselves and the world, said festivalchefen Stephanie Thögersen.”
“In the dark incubated an equally awkward figure. Three of the four scripts was written by men. Despite the fact that last year gave us ”Amateurs”, ”Limit” and ”Young Astrid,” all of which are at least partially written by women, so is the guy’s stories in the strong majority.”
“Either one believes that the disproportion is because women are not driven by the same berättarlusta, or so one senses some sort of system failure. No matter which is the result that we become without some stories.”
“And now well-pleas of identitetspolitiskt folly, that it actually required a woman to portray women, that much of the ”Sex and the city” indeed was found by a Darren. But it is not to get more romantic comedies that we, girls need. They may as well work with even a dyngdeckare, a superhjältevåffla in the crowd, a röjarrulle if a car thief who is chased by a crime syndicate and seeks the protection of a sexy housewife. If they want to. Or about something else entirely, as to give a new perspective on the old clichés.”
“All I’m saying is that they are few. There is no view without a numerical truth.”
“Here comes the opinion: it is silly that the Swedish film institute are not working harder to smooth out the differences. “
“– There are a plethora of different bets, and support for gender equality, but they are almost always targeted against directors and producers. The SFI has had a seminar in Cannes and highlighted representationsproblemen, yet you skip who writes the stories, ” says the screenwriter, Malin Marmgren.”
“I ask her what the consequences are.”
” If you are content to Jan guillou’s ”Hamilton,” directed by a woman (Kathrina Windfeld) is not honestly motivated by hearing all the voices in society. It is in the script of the stories are shaped, but you don’t talk about it so that people are talking about directing.”
“In Sweden, there is no lack of female screenwriters, there is a lack of space. We are deprived of at their angles, in their imagination. In an open society deserves all the groups to be listened to, but in film and tv fail the industry time and time again to reflect the population.”
“It is deeply problematic. And hard. I don’t know your experience, but I think that girls are the most fun.”
“The last ten films that won an Oscar for best film has had a total of 17 writers. 16 of them are men. The exception named Vanessa Taylor and wrote ”The shape of Water”.”
