The proportion of female directors represented in #Cannes this year is a significant 20% (while only 7-8% of the 1800 films submitted were directed by #women). “But nevertheless it does feel very undemocratic and women do notice, you know,” notes #Cannes2014 head judge Jane Campion. “Time and time again we don’t get our share of representation. Excuse me, gentlemen, but the guys are eating all the cake.” LOVE that Campion is using her platform to call out the down-right embarrassing gender imbalance in #film and #Hollywood: buff.ly/1hOh8it
