Background and History of the Doris Network
Doris was founded 1999
in Gothenburg and is a free, independent
network of female film workers;
producers, scriptwriters, film
directors, assistant film directors,
set designers, continuity girls
and film students based in Gothenburg.
Doris has about 30 members.
Doris wants to investigate how one can influence the male and female stereotypes
presented on the film and TV screens. Doris works actively to change the existing
inequality within film business and to reinforce and make women visible on
all levels within film and TV. The Doris Network meets continuously once a
month to exchange experiences, support each others projects and invite lecturers.

Doris Film
was nominated for the Golden
Dragon 2004 (ex Golden Hat)
which is the scholarship
of Film Art to someone who
has taken measures to promote
film art. There motivation
is the following:
In these times when it is politically incorrect to discuss
the male dominance within the film industry it is liberating
when somebody stops talking and actively do something about it.
This autumn Doris an almost five year old network of around
30 female film workers put its foot down. The Doris Manifesto
was kicked off and two weeks ago was the deadline for a leading
script contest. Doris will now, during tree years time, produce
nine short films and a documentary. With women in all leading
positions, of course.
