International Scholarly Symposium “The Emergence of Cinema at the Imperial Borderlands of Central-Eastern Europe”

Women in the Lithuanian Film Industry

Do women and men have equal opportunities to pursue and continue a career in the Lithuanian film industry? Does gender have an impact on cinema-related professions and the hierarchy of positions in this field? Does it play a role in obtaining funding for films or winning film awards? With this research, we sought to understand the real situation and to identify both positive and negative trends in Soviet (1947-1990) and independent Lithuanian (1991-2018) cinema.
