In Europe 81% of films are directed by men. Only 20% of films shown in Swedish cinemas so far this year have female directors. We think this leads to an imbalance that makes the film industry more one-eyed than it needs to be. A film industry with more gender equality would lead to more interesting films with more perspectives and much higher definition.Agency: Stendahls VIEW THE SPOT VIEW THE PRINT AD  The first electric trams entered the streets of Gothenburg, Sweden, more than a century ago.
