Gender Equity in Scottish Film Exhibition Survey

Film Hub Scotland (FHS) has partnered with Equal Media and Culture Centre for Scotland (EMCC) to research gender equity and the experiences of women in Scotland’s film exhibition sector.

This survey will help us to understand how our sector currently does – and does not – support gender equity, and what can be done to ensure an equitable sector for all. Your responses we will inform a research project on gender inequity in the Scottish exhibition sector.

Please share this survey with colleagues in your organisation. We welcome people of all genders to complete this survey.

Your answers will be reviewed by an independent researcher who will collate and anonymise the information before sharing with FHS/EMCC. Nothing you disclose will affect your current, or future, funding applications with Film Hub Scotland.

This survey is anonymous. However, to be entered into our prize draw to win a £100 John Lewis voucher, there is an option at the end to leave your email address.

You have until 15th October to complete the survey. Thank you very much for your time.
