AI Summary

Women occupied 17% of key behind‑camera roles when the Celluloid Ceiling study began in 1998. By 2025 that share had risen to 23%, a six‑percentage‑point increase over 27 years. The rise reflects a gradual, but still limited, improvement in gender representation behind the camera. The study’s latest data were highlighted at the Lumière Summit, where industry leaders called for structural changes to close the remaining gap.
