Publisher's Synopsis
'Women in the Irish Film Industry' is an interdisciplinary collection that critically explores the contribution of women to the Irish film industry as creators of culture - screenwriters, directors, producers, cinematographers, editors, animators, film festival programmers and educators. This book explores the experiences and reflections of Irish women practitioners and, across a range of chapters, situates them within a very specific historical, social and cultural context and further position them within a male-dominated film industry. In an accessible style, it rigorously teases out the myriad of ways that gender impacts on who has the power to speak and be heard in the Irish film industry.
