About the Book

To describe women in film history as "invisible" may seem strange as throughout film history, women on the silver screen have given audiences their version of what it is to be a woman. And as film stars they have always been associated with the glamour of the film industry - the living embodiment of female attraction and pleasure. In Making the invisible visible, however, a group of researchers dissect the underrepresentation of women in areas of film culture often overlooked. Despite some significant differences - between countries, between eras, between kinds of job - production teams and film crews have almost always been men. Still today, many film professions are dominated by men. The authors explore womens scope for action in a variety of professional roles, based for example on discussions of LGBTQ+ identities in the film industry. The texts also present fresh perspectives on women actors and the nature of celebrity. Contributors: Elisabet Björklund, Senior Lecturer in Film Studies at Linnaeus University, Sweden. Dagmar Brunow, Associate Professor in Film Studies at Linnaeus University, Sweden. Eirik Frisvold Hanssen, Head of the Film and Broadcasting Section at the National Library of Norway. Christopher Natzén, Research coordinator at the National Library of Sweden. Ingrid Ryberg, filmmaker and Senior Lecturer in Culture, Aesthetics and Media - University of Gothenburg. Tytti Soila, Professor Emeritus in Cinema Studies at Stockholm University.
