This master's thesis aimed to examine the position and representation of women in the film industry, both globally and in Croatia, thereby contributing to the reflection on gender (in)equality in a sector that is rarely discussed in the Croatian public sphere. By presenting data from various studies conducted on this topic, it was observed that women have long been in a disadvantaged position compared to men in terms of employment opportunities, based on gender inequality, throughout the history of the film industry. However, today we can observe a shift towards greater representation of women in the film industry, although in most cases, a higher percentage of men still occupy leading positions such as directors, producers, screenwriters, and other key roles in the film sector. The thesis also highlights and analyzes the issues that women face in the film industry, which impact their careers, such as discrimination, wage disparities, family and childcare matters, and sexual harassment. To gain a better understanding of the current situation regarding the position of women in the film industry, the thesis conducted a qualitative research study through three individual interviews with three women working in the film industry: actress Dora Lipovčan, and directors Biljana Čakić-Veselič and Vanja Juranić. The aim of these interviews was to gain insights into the situation regarding the position, role, and representation of women in the domestic film scene through the experiences and opinions of individuals employed in the film industry, as well as to identify the challenges they face. The first part of the thesis provides a theoretical overview of the state of gender equality in the film industry, while the second part presents the personal experiences of the participants and explains the progress and changes observed regarding the position and equality of women in the film industry.
