The Actress’s Task Is to Play

Summary/Abstract: With the #metoo movement, a new profession appeared on the film set (and in the public debate): the intimacy coordinator. Her task is to ensure the security and comfort of actresses and actors participating in intimate scenes requiring nudity or simulating sex. Coordination (or mediation) also implies that these efforts are made with the film makers’ artistic goals in mind. The discussion on intimacy coordination in film evokes a lot of hope, doubts and controversy. They signal changes taking place in the film industry and reveal the long life of certain beliefs and prejudices, related both to sexuality and its representations and to the understanding of the film art. The author indicates some of them, concerning the status of the actress and her body, the essence of acting, and the processual and team nature of working on the set. (Non-reviewed material).
