In 2011, Anna Serner announced that the Swedish Film Institute would distribute funds equally among female and male filmmakers; some critics foresaw the demise of Swedish cinema. Not only has Sweden’s gender parity been the envy of the world (women directors 44%, screenwriters 46%, producers 56%), but their filmmakers have wowed audiences and festivals around the world. Sweden’s success is built upon a grand heritage of women who made great films.
