8 Forderungen für eine gerechtere Branche

Claim
1

Gender and Diversity Quota

Despite the increasing discussions about gender equality and diversity in recent years, women and diverse individuals are still underrepresented in nearly every area of film production—both in front of and behind the camera. To actively address these existing inequalities, ProQuote Film calls for a binding quota that ensures the allocation of public contracts and funding […]

Claim
2

Overcoming the Gender Pay Gap

The study “Women in Culture and Media” has shown that the gender pay gap in the cultural sector is 24%, with the gap being even wider in directing and dramaturgy, reaching 36%. It is urgent to close this wage gap for female and multiply marginalized filmmakers. ProQuote Film advocates for fair pay and the elimination […]

Claim
3

Fair conditions in front of and behind the camera

ProQuote Film advocates for fair conditions both in front of and behind the camera to promote balanced representation and fair working conditions within the film industry. Through monitoring, awareness-raising efforts, and dialogues with industry stakeholders, the initiative aims to establish equal representation and an inclusive, just film culture that offers equal opportunities for all involved.

Claim
4

Making Film Heritage Gender-Equitable

The history of cinema has typically been narrated by the male pioneers and icons of the industry. Therefore, at ProQuote Film, we have launched a new film series that honors and highlights the significant contributions of female filmmakers* in (German-speaking) film history. With a focus on accessibility and inclusion, the series offers a journey through […]

Claim
5

Gender and Diversity Monitoring

There are currently few or insufficient data to capture gender ratios and diversity in the film industry. This also makes it difficult to develop funding measures aimed at promoting equal opportunities and inclusion. Without solid numbers and data-driven approaches, implementing change processes is challenging. Therefore, ProQuote Film advocates for the introduction of an annual gender […]

Claim
6

Gender Equality as a Cross-Cutting Issue

ProQuote Film understands gender equality as a cross-cutting issue that must be anchored in all areas of the film and media industry. The initiative works through projects, monitoring, and public relations to establish gender justice and diversity as fundamental principles for a fair and future-oriented film culture.

Claim
7

Family-Friendly Filmmaking

A key component is the website “ffd PQF – Family-Friendly Filmmaking”, developed by actress and expert Belinde Ruth Stieve on behalf of PQF. This comprehensive guide and information portal offers practical solutions to promote family-friendly working conditions and equal opportunities for filmmakers with family responsibilities.

Claim
8

Parity and diversity in committees

ProQuote Film advocates for a balanced representation in the selection committees of funding bodies within the film industry. The aim is to promote gender equality and diversity. In the German Federal Film Fund (FFA), gender parity has already been achieved. Other regional funding bodies should follow this example. The initiative strives for the inclusion of […]

“Chez Jolie Coiffure” Solidarity Film Screening for Sabine Amiyeme

»This film is part of a process I started when I arrived in Belgium in 2007: to discover the African community from the inside, the other side of the medal, the other side of the European dream.«

– Rosine Mbakam (Director)

In Matongé, the African neighborhood of Brussels, the Cameroonian Sabine Amiyeme runs her hair salon “Jolie Coiffure.” It offers the latest hair trends, gossip, and practical life advice, serving as a microcosm of the African diaspora. Like most of her clients, Sabine does not have valid papers, and every police raid threatens her existence. Nevertheless, at “Jolie Coiffure,” Sabine creates a space of familiarity and solidarity for the community every day.

Sabine Amiyeme, the protagonist of the documentary film Chez Jolie Coiffure by Rosine Mbakam, has lived and worked in Brussels for 13 years, building a life, network, and business after a long and traumatic migrant journey. However, she has been unable to obtain permanent residency. On October 2, 2024, she was arrested in Liège, and she now faces imminent deportation to Cameroon. During her most recent hearing on January 8, 2025, her appeal against the deportation order was once again denied. Her expulsion is a devastating blow not only to her but also to her employees and community, who have launched a petition in her support.

As filmmakers, we want to support Sabine Amiyeme by screening the film Chez Jolie Coiffure together in Berlin. The proceeds from ticket sales and donations at the solidarity screening will go toward supporting Sabine Amiyeme.

This solidarity initiative is a cooperation between SINEMA TRANSTOPIA, Frauenfilmfest Dortmund Köln, AFRIKAMERA – Current Cinema from Africa (toucouleur e.V.), and ProQuote Film e.V.
