Put a woman in charge of film school, but make sure the females are degraded on film. It's all about balance, you see...

rural-Francesca, great link, even though the issue of women and film is pretty abysmal.
Did you mean to post this to media? Or maybe feminism? It ended up in "introductions". Let me know and I'll move it.

I LOVE this site! Thanks Francesca... Awesome to read - in Martha Lauzen's research - that 70% of North America's major daily film critics are men, and that each of them writes almost twice as many pieces as his female colleagues. No wonder male-directed misogynist films remain acclaimed as "masterpieces" and so-called "chick films" rarely get sufficiently funded, filmed, promoted or screened...
Bonus track: Michelle Shocked!

I'm thinking media, since it's about women in the film industry as professionals. Moving it.

I found them or rather they found me on Twitter - I'm thrilled as one of my closest friends is our local theater manager, and we're always discussing movies
