Doris Film uses prize money to the Nordic Forum

At the end of May, Doris Film in Gothenburg received a price of SEK 50 000 from Agnes Karlsson’s fund. The money will be used to Nordic Forum.

– It is important to reach out on the situation in the film industry. Therefore, we use the prize money to attend at the Nordic Forum, says Annika Hellström at Doris Film.

– The Doris Manifesto will be launched in Norway and possibly Iceland. So there will be many important discussions on how we create gender equality in the film industry. Along with Allt är Möjligt we will have lectures and workshops on both the film and media industry.

 

The jury for the prize:

“Behind Doris Film is a group of female filmmakers who see that no one takes the question of gender equality in the film industry seriously. They have worked with the Doris network since 1999. By Doris Manifesto they have put the light on an unequal film industry where the heaviest factor to be able to make a feature film, seems to be that one should be a man. They have raised the issue for discussion and especially through clear actions affected the movie in Sweden. Based on Doris Manifesto, they have produced a series of short films screened in many different contexts, both in Sweden and internationally. With movie tutorials for school deepens the conversation about equality, standard critical thinking and film analysis. The work named Doris platform has brought them out of Europe. Doris Film shows with insistent and unrelenting force the importance of not giving up in the pursuit of equality film industry. “
