“…Gender identities as represented in films replicate the traditional stereotypes about femininity and masculinity. Women are depicted as objects of desire, adoration or violence, as passive subjects (Caradeux et al, 2013). They are supposed to be housekeepers and not allowed active roles.…”

The present article analyses the philosophical potential of a film for gender education. The researcher contemplates the outcomes of the course Feminist Approaches in Social and Political Theories taken by the 4-th year bachelor university students. As a final task the students submitted essays on the problems of feminist studies presented in five popular feature films with feminist agenda: Suffragette, The Iron Lady, Little Women, The Help, Colette. The found gender-related problems were to be discussed in the essay and grounded with the theoretical material of the course. It was also necessary to incorporate the terms of feminist studies covered in the course into the analysis of the essay. In this article, the author outlines the plots of the listed films with feminist agenda. Then the researcher points out feminist issues of the films as they were given in the students' works. Fourteen gender-related problems are listed. Most often and less often discussed gender questions are systematized. The applied terms are summarized. The article provides personal students' stances towards gender-related issues reflected in their analysis. The work highlights students' perception of cinema use for educational purposes. In the end, the author recaps the educational experience of the students and their overall evaluation of the educational cinematic journey.

“…Creative and cultural media are common communicational tools conveying social and cultural messages; their content is diverse and affects the perceptions of their targets, contributing to the production of gendered cultural identities [1][2][3]. Among them, the focus of this study was movies, which are assumed to be cultural documents and social sources of information, whose spaces can be unconsciously elaborated [4,5].…”

“…Linguistic code: it shapes language and sexual identities as it plays an important role in the transmission of masculinity and femininity. Dinka Acevedo and Luz Gil-Salom [1] applied the methodology proposed by Theo Van Leeuwen [80] about social actors' representation to decipher how gender social conception is constructed by media influence (Appendix A). The roles of social actors play a significant part in the work of many critical linguists [80][81][82][83][84][85].…”

Rural areas have turned into multifunctional areas. They satisfy different economic and social requirements; among these, they are consolidating their position as film production locations. Becoming a film location ensures visibility and provides new forms to access sustainable economic trajectories to promoting rural areas and rural vitality. In some cases, filmic discourses present unequal gender treatment that may be associated with their locations. Considering this, the aim of this research was to explore cinematic discourses based on the symmetry or asymmetry in gendered cinematic representations that mainly occur in the rural space of the Camino de Santiago (Spain). This First European Cultural route crosses urban and rural centers that have benefited in different ways from its international recognition. By combining both the linguistic and visual codes, I engaged in a qualitative film discourse analysis concerning female pilgrims along the route. Despite of the feminization of the Camino, the results prove the permanence of gendered norms and societal roles in audio-visual productions based on a common latent ideology. The conclusions introduce the concept of social and relational sustainability as a way to achieve equal gender treatment when creating media discourses.
