As the press and the film industry descend on Cannes this week, - TopicsExpress



          

As the press and the film industry descend on Cannes this week, this gives us an opportunity to remind people of one of the biggest problems that plague this festival as well as the industry in general - the lack of opportunities for women directors. The powers that be in the Cannes Film Festival have done a very good job of shifting the narrative away from the lack of women directors - wanting us to believe that this is a banner year for women at the festival. They have appointed some wonderfully talented women like Sofia Coppola and Andrea Arnold to be on the juries across the festival, and three women are presiding over them...But that still does not take away from the fact that there are only TWO women directors in the main competition and that is just not enough. - Women & Hollywood Thoughts?
