The European Audiovisual Observatory published a new report – Female professionals in European film production – 2023 edition - which provides an overview of the gender disparity among film professionals working in the European film industry. The analysis includes professionals who have worked on at least one European feature film in one of the following key roles: director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer, composer, editor, actor/actress in a lead role. 
In addition, the report explores the gender composition of professional teams and identifies the share of films made by female-majority teams.
Key insights for the period 2018 – 2022:
•    Women are still largely underrepresented in the workforce. Only 26% of directors of European feature films are female.
•    Among behind-the-camera roles, the highest female presence was registered among producers (35%) and screenwriters (29%).
•    The gender gap was most visible concerning cinematographers and composers, as women represent 11% and 10% of active professionals respectively. 
•    The share of female professionals is progressing slowly, with variations across Europe.
•    On average, female professionals in film crews worked on slightly fewer films than their male counterparts, except for film editors.
•    Women in key crew positions were more likely than their male colleagues to work in teams, as well as in gender-mixed settings.
•    Documentary was the film genre with the highest share of female professionals, taking into consideration all crew roles.
•    Data suggest a positive correlation between the presence of at least one female co-director and an increase in the share of women working in film crews.
