In this episode we talk to Lisa French, Dean of Media and Communication at RMIT University and member of Screen Australia’s Gender Matters Taskforce. Lisa has made a career out of researching women’s representation in film and TV and is the only academic on the taskforce.
We talk to her about her latest research into the Gender Matters initiative: How successful has it been? What issues is it addressing? And what else needs to be done?

Interview with Katie Milwright

In this podcast, we explore the issue of gender diversity in the Australian screen industry, particularly focusing on the representation of women in behind the camera roles. So that’s directors, producers, writers and cinematographers, to name a few.

Throughout this series, we will be talking to female and male creatives and academics about their experiences with gender diversity.

Why is gender diversity essential to the future of the screen industry and of storytelling? What can be done to further champion equality?
