Abstract

This chapter offers an outline of the four women editors' academic paths' interweaving and overlapping with the #MeToo Movement and the worldwide transformation about how female agency and subjectivity is perceived in film and media industry. The outcome of the International Conference on Female Agency and Subjectivity in Film and Television that was held at Istanbul Bilgi University in April 10-13, 2019 is gathered under three sections for this book: "The women behind the camera", "women on screen", and "women in context and culture: representational struggles across genres and platforms." In this introduction, the editors pay their tribute to all women who have been kept invisible and mute in storylines, behind the cameras and in the production processes. © The Author(s) 2020.
