According to researchers involved with the study, who have been tracking gender representation in <a href=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/hollywoods-gender-gap-exists-fix\/\">Hollywood<\/a> for nearly 30 years, women accounted for only 16% of the directors who worked on the top 250 films of last year \u2013 the same percentage from the previous year. When they zoomed in to look at the top 100 films though, representation for women directors decreased, dipping from 14% in 2023 to 11% last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More troubling, still: Overall, only 8% of all behind-the-scenes roles were occupied by 10 or more women in last year\u2019s biggest movies \u2014 while 70% of those films employed 10 or more men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Researchers point out that even the depictions of powerful women in last year\u2019s films were noticeably problematic, pointing to films such as Netflix rom-com \u201cA Family Affair,\u201d in which Nicole Kidman plays an author, and action\/comedy \u201cThe Fall Guy,\u201d featuring Emily Blunt as a camerawoman. In these and other films, \u201cfictional female helmers needed to be saved, required help translating their direction for a male actor who literally spoke a different language, or were rendered so brittle by thoughts of future opportunities that they were perceived as being difficult to work with,\u201d researchers wrote in the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvery one of the portrayals provided a Rorschach test of how we view women in leadership positions,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"block_2eb141167e8d3f9f781eb075296fa136\" class=\"wp-block related-post alignwide\">\n      <div class=\"wrap\">\n    <div class=\"section-title\">\n      <h4>Related<\/h4>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"post-wrap\">\n              <div class=\"thumbnail\">\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/despite-barbie-theres-still-not-enough-women-directors\/\" class=\"post-image-link\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Greta-Gerwig-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Greta-Gerwig-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Greta-Gerwig-96x96.jpeg 96w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Greta-Gerwig-84x84.jpeg 84w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Greta-Gerwig-45x45.jpeg 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\n          <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"entry-text\">\n          <h3 class=\"post-title\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/despite-barbie-theres-still-not-enough-women-directors\/\">\n              Despite &#8216;Barbie,&#8217; There&#8217;s Still Not Enough Women Directors\n            <\/a>\n          <\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<p>This data aligns with previous research which also revealed an ongoing lack of women working in Hollywood. Data published by USC Annenberg\u2019s Inclusion Initiative <a href=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/despite-barbie-theres-still-not-enough-women-directors\/\">in early 2024<\/a> revealed that women directed just 14 of the 100 top-grossing U.S. films released in 2023 \u2014 and four of them were women of color. Female representation in front of the camera lags behind men, too. <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2024\/film\/news\/study-shows-decrease-speaking-roles-female-characters-1235923773\/\">Previous data<\/a> from San Diego State researchers found that a staggering 77% of the 100 top-grossing movies of 2023 had more men in speaking roles than women, while only 18% had more women in speaking roles than men. (Just 5% of movies had equal gender representation on-screen.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One possible, if obvious solution to this ongoing trend involves putting more women in charge \u2013 leaders who are more likely to, in turn, hire more women across the board. San Diego State\u2019s latest report found that films with a female director \u201cemployed substantially more women\u201d in significant behind-the-camera roles such as writers, editors and cinematographers, than films with male directors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, the news wasn\u2019t all bad \u2013 women accounted for 20% of writers working on 2024\u2019s 250 top-grossing films, the report noted, marking a 7% increase since the study was first conducted in 1998 \u2014 an historic high for representation, researchers stated.<br>Still, more work and more progress is needed.
