"We were released into the so-called Western world we knew absolutely nothing about": professional experiences of female employees in the Lithuanian film industry from the postcolonial point of view
ENIn this paper, we investigate the professional experiences of female employees. Furthering ourselves from the textual film analysis prevalent in the Baltic film studies, we turn toward experiences of female film workers by using intermethodological approach, combining feminist film studies and psychology. We are focusing on the 30-year period of the existence of independent Lithuania, which we understand as a post-Soviet period, a time after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a postcolonial condition in which the values of the old system meet the new ones influenced by the processes of globalization. Using the method of thematic analysis, we analyze the interviews of 22 women of various age groups working in various positions in the film industry. [From the publication]
