Women in the Animation
Industry : Steps In
The Right Direction?

Saturday 21 March
St. James’ Church
10am - 11am

Saturday 21 March
St. James’ Church
10am - 11am

Just thirteen years ago, women were largely outnumbered in animation, accounting for just 16% of the industry in 2006. Upon realising this shortcoming, the industry strove for change.

By 2019, 60% of students films in animation were directed by women. However, women still only represented 12% of the directors for feature films. Furthermore, as much as 90% of women in the early stages of their careers express the clear aspiration to undertake leadership roles.

So where have all the women gone? We still clearly perceive a classic divide where women are more represented in independant animation and production. Meanwhile, women are more-or-less absent from executive positions in commercial production.

In short, we can see that women continue to facilitate rather than create. Overall, as production budgets increase, the trend is that the concentration of women dwindles.

 

Nevertheless, Women In Animation claims a 50/50 representation of men and women in the industry by 2025.

However, what measures will be used by both schools and companies to realise this objective while simultaneously adapting the industry’s culture to be more inclusive? Additionally, can we identify any concrete examples of successful initiatives that have been put into action today?

 

Invited participation from female animators and broadcasters attending the festival.
