To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

    NEWSLETTER / SPRING 2018 Welcome from our Chairman 'Spring is nature's way of saying "Let's Party!"...' Robin Williams I had been looking for some great quote or poem about Spring to reflect the new year and new growth. I found there are many, some risqué some depressing but decided on one that I liked the best, which was from the actor Robin Williams Although it is still very chilly, what with the 'Beast from the East', then the 'Mini Beast from the East' and I am sure there will be a 'Micro Beast' at some point, there is a little blossom around forging its way through the cold, the mornings are bright, there are lambs in the fields and the clocks have gone forward – it doesn’t get more lyrical than that and nor do I..... Ahead is another year of excitement and expectations, new films for some and, perhaps, new positions for others and I am happy to say, the Industry is still very buoyant and there does seem to be continuing investment in studio space. I am also happy to announce that the British Film Designers Guild is also growing, with the continuing addition of new members and corporate sponsors, this in turn allows us to reinvest back into the Guild – stand by for a small survey coming your way, we think some feedback on the events we run, the website, the awards and other things you may need or want from your membership will be helpful for the committee to consider and organise. We had a very successful awards evening at Pinewood in early January which would not have been possible without the very generous support from our Sponsors and the hardwork from Sonja Klaus and Mads Bushnell plus their respective teams.

  • August2010 Newsletter
    LATE SUMMER – An editorial The Studios are full to the brim with a multitude of productions. The employment levels are at near record levels and it is at present quite difficult to put any sort of Art Dept. crew together yet alone find stage space in the UK. Over the past month I have been to France – scouting for locations, Los Angeles for meetings and now am in Bucharest preparing a film for directors Neveldine and Taylor, of “CRANK” and “GAMER” fame. Unfortunately, the Guild has had to take a back seat in my thoughts whilst my time and energy have become refocused on the day to day business of making a movie and as importantly earning a crust. Before I embarked on my World Journey, I had to inform the Committee that, unfortunately, Mary Krauss had given notice to me as to her desire to retire from her position as Guild Administrator, in the near future, and as soon as a worthy replacement can be found. Mary has been in this position since 2003, and as well as magnificently looking after us all, she also manages and co ordinates the "Woman of the Year." This event continues to expand in scope, and together with the increasing demands of the Guild, the running of which has expanded enormously with the thrust of email and other online/media based communications. I think she has done a fantastic job for us all over the years and we will have to think very hard about who is to replace her in this most vital of Guild positions, being the lynch pin, and public face to the entire organisation.

Two women are about to find out. In the sophisticated and heartfelt comedy Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, Academy Award winner Frances McDormand plays the film’s title role opposite Academy Award nominee Amy Adams (star of the blockbuster Enchanted). The cast also includes Golden Globe Award nominee Lee Pace (of the hit American series Pushing Daisies), Ciarán Hinds (There Will Be Blood), Shirley Henderson (the Harry Potter films), Mark Strong (Stardust), and screen newcomer Tom Payne. In 1939 London, Miss Guinevere Pettigrew (played by Ms. McDormand) is a middle-aged governess who finds herself once again unfairly dismissed from her job. Without so much as severance pay, Miss Pettigrew realizes that she must – for the first time in two decades – seize the day. This she does, by intercepting an employment assignment outside of her comfort level – as “social secretary.” Arriving at a penthouse apartment for the interview, Miss Pettigrew is catapulted into the glamorous world and dizzying social whirl of an American actress and singer, Delysia Lafosse (Ms. Adams). Within minutes, Miss Pettigrew finds herself swept into a heady high-society milieu – and, within hours, living it up.

  • Production Designer Robert Stromberg to Receive Hollywood Film Festival's Hollywood Production Designer of the Year Award At
    PRODUCTION DESIGNER ROBERT STROMBERG TO RECEIVE HOLLYWOOD FILM FESTIVAL'S HOLLYWOOD PRODUCTION DESIGNER OF THE YEAR AWARD AT FESTIVAL'S 14TH ANNUAL AWARDS PRESENTATION, OCT. 25 LOS ANGELES, September 7, 2010 - - Academy Award® winning Production Designer Robert Stromberg, whose work has been most recently featured in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland and James Cameron’s Avatar , will receive the Hollywood Film Festival’s Hollywood Production Designer of the Year Award at the Festival’s October 25 Hollywood Awards Gala Ceremony, it was announced today by festival founder and president Carlos de Abreu. Stromberg’s selection followed a recommendation to the festival by the Art Directors Guild Council. Stromberg was first introduced to Cameron in 2005. They immediately formed a unique creative relationship, which eventually evolved into the creation of “Pandora” for the film Avatar. Stromberg along with Rick Carter became co-production designers for the film and in 2009 they won the Academy Award® for Best Achievement in Art Direction for this work . In addition, Stromberg and Carter were honored with the Art Directors Guild’s Excellence in Production Design Award and the BAFTA Film Award for Best Production Design for Avatar. In 2008, Stromberg was introduced to Burton and again a creative bond was formed and Stromberg was hired as the production designer on Alice in Wonderland (2010). Together they created a unique spin on the offbeat universe of this classic tale. Stromberg will be honored during the Hollywood Film Festival's black-tie Hollywood Awards Gala Ceremony banquet before a gathering of 1,200 industry and guild executives, stars, celebrities, filmmakers and media, from the International Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.
