About this Event

This webinar presented the results of Women in View’s sixth On Screen Report (WIVOS) with the Report’s co-authors Jill Golick and Nathalie Younglai, Founder of BIPOC TV & Film. Since 2012, Women in View has tracked the engagement of women writers, directors and cinematographers in Canada’s publicly funded film and television industry. These reports have shown that Canadian Screen-based industries are capable of change. The reports have captured the stats from early years of tracking stagnant progress to seeing the effects of industry commitments making major strides and reaching gender parity. However, with this most recent report, when analyzing the stats for women through a racialized lens, the numbers tell a different story. The blanket term “women” can no longer be used to mean “all women” when the numbers show that not all women are being raised up.
