Addressing Narratives Against Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA)
The Citizenship Amendment Act is now active in India. With that comes the Anti-Hindu hate-filled narratives. Let us address those narratives.
The playing field in the film and movie business is not level for women – specially in Hollywood. So, what do they do? They flock into an area that is fast growing and doesn’t require “Godfathers”. It requires talent.
As per a new study, more women are working in independent films than in Hollywood. Results shared at the recently held 2013 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah showed this.
“Sundance Institute believes that stories and characters told through film play an enormously influential role in determining audiences’ perceptions of themselves, one another and the world around us,” said Keri Putnam, executive director of the Sundance Institute. “Seen through that lens, the results of this research are encouraging in that they show a higher representation of female filmmakers in independent film compared to other types of media — but they also highlight the work that is still to be done.”
