This section discusses the women filmmakers relations to gender-specific problems in an international context connected to the time period of the 1980's to the current era. It has been shown that there are two parallel issues to be addressed. The decline of feminism as a political praxis and a personal standpoint and the introduction of digital and online media that takes place in the film industry. Research has been done in a methodological way in where instead of finding out by the scholarly and creative contexts. There has been a project set in where high-profiled female film directors where brought up due to their involvement in an international context of film production and distribution with the likes of Suzana Amral, Francesca Archibugi, Susanne Bier, Kathryn Bigelow, Jane Campion, just to name a few. An array of questions were asked to answer and to dialogue the filmmakers via video conference or video letters on topics that relate to the focus of the project. With new technology being made on a daily basis we are able to look at key questions that relate to women's film historiography in non-academic networks and venues. The main goal to disseminate information and promote vital awareness about the roles of women filmmakers and to provide a new concept of women's cinema involved with the new framework of digital culture.
