Experts from the United States which are engaged in the study of gender issues in the media, examined gender discrimination in the film industry, after analyzing a lot of films made in recent years in different countries. Researchers concluded that the level of discrimination against women in the film is even higher than in ordinary life. "Women are under-represented in the movie. Of all the heroes who scripted utter any replica, only a third - women. Only 23% of the main roles are reserved "fair sex". And, if you look at the scope of employment, whereas a woman's life ranged from 40% to 50% of the working population, in the movie, only 23% representation of women realize themselves professionally. " Representation of women on the silver screen also depends on the gender of the director, filmmaking. So, in pictures, in the production of which was attended by at least one woman (the director or screenwriter), women accounted for 37% of all the characters, with the replica, and in films, in which the author of the script and the director were men, women accounted for only 28% of the all characters with replicas. In addition, 39% of the main roles in the films of directors or screenwriters female played female, while only 4% were female main characters in the films, directors or writers whom were male.
