Do soundtracks have gender? Women Composers and the Gender Gap in the Film Industry (Presented by Equaly)
In Italy, women composers account for just 7% of the total in feature films produced between 2017 and 2023, and women sound designers only 8%. At the European level, women authors registered with editorial collecting societies do not reach 16%.
The world of film scores remains an almost exclusively male territory. Starting from these data, the talk opens a discussion with four women professionals in the field, invited to share the reality behind the numbers.
Each voice will bring a different perspective on a common problem: why are women still so few, and what can be done to change course?
A concrete dialogue, guided by targeted questions, to go beyond the statistical snapshot, identify real tools for change and launch Ouverture, the first call for Italian female composers for audiovisual media.
