SYNOPSIS<\/p>\n

The Swiss film news journal (CJS) in its current form originated at the beginning of World War Il. Its goal was to be a “psychological weapon” meant to inform the Swiss population in an objective way and, if necessary, to “reinforce their spirit of independence and will of defence”. It considered itself as an “essential addition to written and verbal information” .<\/p>\n

In its 35 years of existence, the CJS attained the impressive size of 280000 metres in 3 languages and is divided into approximately 9 000 subjects, covering a large field of subjects.
\nWe were curious to see what place the CJS attributed to women. Housewife? Star? Sportswoman? Queen? Soldier? Or were they perhaps not represented at all? Who shows them? How, and why?<\/p>\n

The film, based on the original material as well as through research and statistics, tries to answer these questions related to the subjects discussed.<\/p>\n

The film in part retraces the authors’ steps in their search for women in the news and in part the methods used (sub-consciously but no less constant) by many CJS filmmakers.
\nThrough presenting relatively abundant and undoubtedly representative material, it tries to throw light on the kind of image successive filmmakers had of women.<\/p>\n

Parallel to this study the film also leads to reflect on the media and the way it is used.<\/p>\n
