abstract: 'This article addresses the question of how gender inequalities are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
produced in the film industry. In the absence of industry or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
organizational interventions, these inequalities seem unmanageable. We
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
present an exploration of the gendered working lives of below-the-line
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
film workers in New Zealand, in the context of the western film
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
industry. Repeatedly, women activists have pointed out that a perception
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of gender equity contradicts the statistics, which demonstrate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
traditional as well as new'' forms of sexism. In this post-feminist
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
context inequality is typically invisible and unspoken, and there is a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
thriving narrative of meritocracy based on talent and determination,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
where you''re only as good as your last job''. Below-the-line crew'' are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
distinguished from creatives in a hierarchy of creativity. In the New
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Zealand film industry, they are not unionized, and there are no policies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
addressing gender. From their perspective, their powerlessness in terms
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of employment rights is taken as a given, a price they pay for doing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
their dream job. In spite of beliefs about merit, talent and the good
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
idea'', women''s good ideas'' and their work capabilities across a range of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
roles are less likely to be recognized and rewarded than those of men.'
