The 1D Glasses

GÖTEBORG FILM FESTIVAL

96% of Hollywood directors are men, resulting in a one-dimensional film industry. Göteborg Film Festival decided to take action, and in 2020 they became the first major film festival with a 50/50 program, were half of the films were directed by women.

We chose to dramatize the one-dimensional film offering we have today by launching: The 1D Glasses. A symbol for the modern day film industry.

1D Glasses — Case Study

We made 1D Glasses and sent them to journalists and other influential people in the film and entertainment business all over the world. We also made a film with classic TV shop feel, starring two stereotypical tv hosts, demonstrating the glasses as the must-have gadget for reactionists and people who want to experience the film industry’s narrowness IRL. The 1D Glasses was also sold online at Göteborg Film Festival’s webshop.

We also created print ads and billboards where the ad space itself illustrated the unequal gender distribution in the film industry
