  • MASTER THESIS the Impact of Gender Equality in Film Festival
    MASTER THESIS The Impact of Gender Equality in Film Festival Management on the Female Representation of Awarded Film Directors Student name: Feline Koelemij Student number: 511856 Supervisor: Dr. Christian Handke Second reader: Ms. Liesbeth de Strooper Master Cultural Economics and Entrepreneurship Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication Erasmus University of Rotterdam Master Thesis Date final version: 15 June 2020 The Impact of Gender Equality in Film Festival Management on the Female Representation of Awarded Film Directors Abstract This thesis investigates the gender equality within film festivals management teams and its influence on the female representation of awarded film directors. As a masculine organisational culture create a gender gap, Hofstede’s dimensions, which measure organisational cultures per country, have been used. Both the researched film festival organisations and the awarded film directors show a gender gap, which is persistent in both Europe and North America. The film festivals which have been established earlier, seem to have more female directors and executives. Film festivals with more female employees also have more female directors and executives. All in all, this research did not find a causal relationship between the gender of film festival management teams and the gender of the awarded film festivals. Nonetheless, it did find that certain aspects of the geographical location, and the longitude of existence of a film festival affects the female representation within the director and executives’

I would particularly like to thank my supervisors in the Faculty of Arts at York St John University, where I have been proud to hold a Studentship in Film Studies between 2010 and 2013. Foremost among these has been my supervisor Steve Rawle, whose apparently limitless time and patience I have been privileged to receive during my research. His depth of knowledge and clarity of critical argument have only been surpassed by his generosity with important suggestions at the perfect moment, and his readiness to read a great deal of work-in progress from me at extremely short notice.

  • Intersections Between High-End Art and Finance in the Global City a Comparative Analysis
    FACULTEIT WETENSCHAPPEN Geography and Geomatics Master of Geography Intersections between high-end art and finance in the global city A comparative analysis Freke Caset Number of words: 29040 Academic year 2014 – 2015 Prof. dr. Ben Derudder, Master’s thesis submitted to Department of Geography acquire the degree of Master of Geography 1 PREFACE As a human geography student with a high affinity for the areas of globalization and urbanization, the choice to write a thesis within the field of the global city discourse was easily made. When browsing through possible subjects and approaches related to this topic, the perspective wherein the conventional way in which global cities have generally been approached (as key sites of capital transaction and accumulation) is combined with the role of these nodes as centers for the arts, seemed refreshing and welcome, given the scarce amount of similar empirical studies on a city-scale and the growing recognition of urban cultural policy frameworks based on the arts within global cities and cities aiming at global city status. Along the line, many people gave me inspiring ideas, encouragement and much needed practical advice. Therefore my gratitude goes out to professor Ben Derudder for all of the above reasons and for providing me with the highly inspiring book Arts, Culture and the Making of Global Cities by Kong et al. (2015). Similar words of thank go out to Lizzy for making the time to discuss some of my statistical queries, to Laura for the critical feedback and diverting company in between, to Jeroen and Nicolas for the comprehensive reviews and to my ever- helpful father.

But this year we are also giving special attention to the connections between these activities and that wider world. In particular, we have chosen to highlight the issue of migration in this year’s newsletter -- both because it is a central topic of research for many of our faculty and students, and because it is a key point of linkage between our scholarly commitments on the one hand, and our engagements with the broader social and political world on the other.

  • RESEARCH COUNCIL Proposal Major Grant
    Major Grant Proposal Presented to the Colgate Research Council Project Title: “Nuts” (an experimental documentary film) Submitted by: Penny Lane Department of Art and Art History January 24, 2014 INTRODUCTION This grant proposal to the Colgate Research Council is to support production of an ambitious feature-length film project called NUTS. NUTS has a total budget of $245,000; this proposal is for $7,500, which would support a key phase in production I am planning for May-June 2014. The intended outcome of this phase is the production of a 20-minute fundraising sample to be completed before August 2014. The expected public premiere date of NUTS is spring 2015. PROJECT SYNOPSIS NUTS is an innovative, feature-length documentary film telling the amazing true story of John Romulus Brinkley, who in 1917 discovers that he can cure impotence by transplanting goat testicles. Tens of thousands of men beat a path to his door, and Brinkley’s empire is born. Using an energetic mix of documentary footage, animated reenactments and a hilariously unreliable narrator, NUTS traces Brinkley’s rise from poverty and obscurity to the heights of celebrity, wealth and influence in Depression-era America. Along the way, he transplants thousands of goat testicles, amasses an enormous fortune, is elected Governor of Kansas, builds the world’s most powerful radio station, invents the infomercial, the sound truck and Border Radio, hosts some epic parties and annoys the heck out of “the establishment” until finally his audacious actions force the federal government to regulate the practices of medicine, advertising and radio.
