In the wake of #MeToo and #TimesUp, it has become clear that the problem of patriarchy in the screen and media industries is vast, scaled, unrelenting, and brutal in its impact. Our responses need to be equally nuanced, complex, and unyielding. This special section offers four essays that collectively represent our aim for a multifaceted, international, and intersectional set of perspectives. Read in combination they unpick industry binaries such as below-the-line versus above-the-line professions, pre-and post-industry, personal/individual versus political/structural, and North American versus (other) global industries. As such, this section is part of an urgent, on-going conversation about how to effect meaningful change in current media industries.
