“Being a Woman on a Cinema Set”

“Being a Woman on a Cinema Set” - 2008.

Whether in terms of the various jobs involved or their hierarchy and relative prestige, the organization of a French cinema set remains a largely “masculine” milieu. Women are confined to certain jobs and they are in a minority when it comes to the highest-ranking functions. On the film set, their place is therefore confined to a number of “feminine” jobs and functions : script, montage, assistance. These are the principal areas in which women manage to work in cinema. Such jobs for the most part, call upon a range of “feminine” qualities : “being” a woman can therefore prove to be an asset to find one’s place in cinema.
