Despite the fact that nationally and internationally women film directors are underrepresented within the industry, there is a wealth of talent currently working in Britain. During the early part of the 2000s, the UKFC instigated policies and strategies for gender equality and since then the British Film Institute has continued to encourage diversity. British Women Directors in the New Millennium therefore examines the production, distribution and exhibition of female directors? work in light of policy. The book is divided into two sections: part one includes a historical background of women directors working in the twentieth century before discussing the various diversity funding opportunities available since 2000. The second part of the book examines the innovation, creativity and resourcefulness of British female film directors, as well as the considerable variety of films that they produce, selecting specific examples for analysis in the process.    . 606 $aEthnology$zGreat Britain 606 $aCulture 606 $aSex 606 $aMotion pictures$xProduction and direction 606 $aMotion picture industry 606 $aTelevision broadcasting 606 $aMotion pictures$zGreat Britain 606 $aBritish Culture 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aDirecting 606 $aFilm and Television Industry 606 $aBritish Film and TV 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xProduction and direction. 615 0$aMotion picture industry. 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting. 615 0$aMotion pictures 615 14$aBritish Culture. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aDirecting. 615 24$aFilm and Television Industry. 615 24$aBritish Film and TV. 676 $a306.0941 700 $aHockenhull$b Stella$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0885100 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255062403321 996 $aBritish Women Film Directors in the New Millennium$92536807 997 $aUNINA
