Close-up: Women in the Russian Film Business
Modern women in film and television are becoming increasingly successful and gaining recognition and opportunities for professional growth. Working in various positions, ranging from traditionally male professions, such as cameraman, director, or production designer to actresses and screenwriters, they make a significant contribution to the development of modern cinema. However, they still face a number of difficulties, so it is crucial today to create networks of support and mentoring, through which professional growth can be significantly accelerated, particularly in industries where women have historically been in the minority. What role are women playing in the development of the modern film industry? What challenges do women leaders in the film industry face? How can a woman manage a team while making a movie in a multitasking environment? How has the role of women in cinema changed over the past 10 years? What support measures do women need in the current conditions and how does the mutual support mechanism work?
