In her most recent edited collection WFT Ireland C In her most recent edited collection WFT Ireland Chair and President of WFTI, Dr Susan Liddy, explores the challenges facing women from their mid-forties onwards as they attempt to build/maintain careers in the screen industries. The contributors she has gathered for Women, ageing and the screen industries: ‘falling off a cliff? are concerned with the intersection of gender and age on screen and behind the camera and how that can create what is called a ‘double jeopardy’. Existing research in this area has been primarily directed to onscreen representation. Female actors, with notable exceptions, can struggle to get screen time and expansive roles as they age. But behind the camera, women 45+ also face challenges and roadblocks though less attention has been paid to this group before now.

The cross-cultural research opens a much-needed conversation across national borders – Ireland, Britain, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Germany and Australia and touches on film, television, streaming services and more. It includes an exploration of gendered ageism, age bias and stereotyping. It also highlights the achievements of mature female practitioners who, in their work and working lives, embody a resistance to restrictive cultural discourses about ageing women.
On the 7th of May, WFT and WGI collaborated on a v On the 7th of May, WFT and WGI collaborated on a very special joint event, Women Writing for the Screen: Strategizing for our Future which took place at the Museum of Literature Ireland.
