„Especially when it comes to public money it has to be equal.“ Jane Campion, Cannes 2014

 

APPEAL        

to  female  colleagues,  female  supporters  and  male  supporters  

PRO  QUOTE  REGIE  was  founded  one  year  ago.  In  the  meantime,  we  are  more  than  340  female  directors  who  stand  up  for  the  equality  of  women  in  our  profession.  Discussions  with  film  funding  officials   and   politicians   have   confirmed   our   endeavour.   We   would   appreciate   your   support   as  signatory   of   this   appeal.   Please   mail   to:   aufruf@proquote-regie.de   (for   directors)   or   to:  appell@proquote-regie.de  (for  supporters).  

The  impulse  for  the  creation  of  our  association  was  an  article  in  the  film  industry  magazine  black  box,  which  examined  the  production  results  of  two  large  German  film  funds  from  autumn  2012  in  terms  of  gender  equality.  The  numbers  were  alarming:   in  all   47  of   the   funded  cinema  projects,  men   exclusively   occupied   the   position   of   director.   The   numbers   of   the  DFFF   (German  Federal  Film  Fund)  from  2013,  which  automatically  provides  awards  without  a  jury’s  decision,  are  similar.  In  all  of  the  115  projects  funded  by  the  DFFF  only  13  had  female  directors.  For  the  final  bids,  this  means   that   of   the   62.5  million   that   the   DFFF   awarded   in   2013,   only   6  million   went   to   female  directors.   In  2014   the  DFFF  awarded  59.5  million  and  only  7.5  million  were  awarded   to  women  directors.  

In  awarding  contracts  by  TV  productions,  which  are  the  bottleneck  of  filmmaking  in  Germany,  the  situation  does  not  look  different.  Our  analysis  of  publicly  available  sources  found  that:  in  the  last  ten  years,   less  than  15  per  cent  of   the  director   jobs   in  television  were  awarded  to  women,  from  2010  to  2013,  only  11  per  cent.  

But  the  numbers  of  film  school  graduates  shows  a  very  different  picture:  42  per  cent  of  those  who  received  the  director  diploma  were  women.  An  imbalance!  

This   affects   not   only   the   working   conditions   of   female   directors,   but   also   has   a   cultural   and  political  dimension.  In  our  diverse  society  with  different  religions,  races  and  cultures,  85  per  cent  of   cinema   and   television   films   are   directed   by   men.   Where   are   the   other   perspectives   and  opinions?  We  need  a  variety  of  perspectives  to  represent  our  world  in  our  films!  Should  it  be  the  case  that  as  many  people  as  possible  switch  on  and  watch,  but  only  as  few  as  possible  actually  participate?  The  ultimate  result  of  a  lack  of  pluralism  is  the  weakening  of  democracy,  but  also  the  weakening  of  competitiveness!  For  some  time,  TV  has  been  in  search  of  renewal,  and  reforms  of  our  film  funding  system  are  constantly  discussed.  A  systematic  equalization  in  the  distribution  of  

director   assignments   to  women   is   an   essential   step   to   promote   pluralism,   -   50   per   cent   of   the  society  are  women  -  to  expand  the  view  of  the  world  and  thereby  set  a  desired  renewal  in  motion.  

We  are  convinced   that  discrimination  against  women  does  not  happen  programmatically,  but   to  the   greatest   extent,   unconsciously.   Of   course   we   will   also   put   our   own   behaviour   under   the  microscope!  PRO  QUOTE  REGIE  is  committed  to  education;  through  public  relations  we  want  to  create  public  awareness.  

A  look  abroad:  there,  female  directors  have  formed  similar  initiatives,  sometimes  in  collaboration  with  the  politicians.  

SWEDEN:  Due   to   the  Film  Agreement   between   the   government,   parliament,   film   producer   and  television  stations,  50  per  cent  of  the  film  funding  budgets  have  to  be  awarded  to  women  in  the  position  of  director,  screenplay  or  production  by  the  end  of  2015.  Outstanding!  

FRANCE:  Three  women  from  film  marketing  have  founded  Le  Deuxième  Regard  and  brought  to  life   the  Charter   for   Equality   Between  Men   and  Women   in   the   Film   Industry,   in   which   they   call  upon  production  companies,  TV  stations  and  politicians  to  voluntarily  commit  to  hire  more  women  in  film  and  television.  Their  concern   is   to  break  down  gender-specific  statistics  by  gender,   to  be  equally   represented   in  all   decision-making  bodies,   to   raise  awareness  of   gender  equality.  They  also   want   to   ensure   equal   pay   for   men   and   women.   ARTE,   CNC   and   the   French   Minister   of  Culture,  among  others,  have  signed  the  appeal.  

ENGLAND:  The  Women's  Committee  of  Directors  UK  has   launched  a   campaign   for   equality   in  film  and  TV.  Their  numbers  show  that  women  are  represented  in  the  independent  sector  with  only  18  per  cent  and   that   this   is  only   in   the   low  budget   range.   In   the   television  sector,  women  have  even  lost  influence.  

USA:   The   American   Director   Association   (DGA)   commissioned   a   diversity   study   in   2012,   the  result  of  which  corresponds  with  our  research  for  Germany:  less  than  15  per  cent  of  the  director  contracts  were  awarded  to  female  directors.  

PRO  QUOTE  REGIE  demands  for  Germany:  − A   comprehensive   sociological   study   on   the   career   and   professional   situation   of   female  

directors,   and   the   granting   practices   of   TV   stations   and   film   funding   bodies   regarding  gender  specific  aspects  

− Equal  representation  in  the  decision-making  of  all  film  funding  bodies  

− A  quota  for  the  award  of  director  contracts  in  television  and  film  industry,  namely:  

 

   30%  in  3  years,  42%  in  5  years  and    50%    in  10  years    

 

THE  VISION  

2018.  The  proportion  of  female  directors  in  the  award  of  contracts  in  the  public  TV  channels  has  increased  to  30  per  cent.  The  proportion  of  women  in  the  award  committees  is  50  per  cent.  

2020:  The  proportion  of  female  directors  in  the  award  of  contracts  in  the  public  TV  channels  has  increased  to  42  per  cent.  

2025:  The  national  film  funding  goes  50  per  cent  to  female  directors.  The  quota  is  no  longer  an  issue;  variety  and  diversity  are  reflected  in  television  and  in  the  funding  decisions.  PRO  QUOTE  REGIE  is  abolished!  

Of  course,  our  aim  is  an  ideal.  The  drafters  of  our  Constitution  in  1949  did  the  same,  when  they  proposed,  among  other  things,  the  article  3,  paragraph  2:  "Men  and  women  are  equal.  The  state  promotes   the  actual   implementation  of  equal   rights   for  women  and  men  and  works   towards   the  elimination  of  existing  disadvantages."  

To  achieve  our  goals,  we  need  your  solidarity  and  support!  Please  sign   this  appeal,  please  get  touch   with   our   association,   bring   our   concerns   to   your   personal   environment,   and   be   active  yourself:   We   need   many   people   who   are   willing   to   take   responsibility   in   committees,   in  associations,  on  podiums,  in  public!  Make  yourself  visible!
