Calling the Shots: Podcasts
Do things change when a woman is the boss on a set? What are the conditions that might allow for the emergence of more women bosses on the set? One often hears now, the words diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace, or rather DEI as they are known in corporate lingo. What does this mean for the Hindi film industry? Women film directors respond to three key questions.
In Episode One, we ask directors, who happen to be women, what has changed in filmmaking in India in the last twenty years – for women as creators and technicians in Hindi cinema?
In Episode Two, the directors pick the one thing that could be done to ensure a more inclusive environment within the Hindi film industry.
In Episode Three, directors reminisce about their best day at work.
The podcasts are part of the study Calling the Shots: Women Directing Hindi Cinema done by Shilpa Phadke and Nithila Kanagasabai, assisted by Srishti Walia and Nabeela Rizvi.
