Campion speaks out about sexism
Print Edition
THE scarcity of female directors in the film industry is “undemocratic,” the head of the Cannes film festival jury Jane Campion said on Wednesday, speaking out against sexism in the business that keeps many women’s films out of view.
The comments by Campion, the only woman to have ever won the festival’s prestigious Palme d’Or prize, came on the opening day of the 12-day event. In years past, the festival has been criticized for not presenting enough films made by women.
“I think you’d have to say there’s some inherent sexism in the industry,” Campion said.
“It does feel very undemocratic and women do notice,” she said. “Time and time again, we don’t get our share of representation.”
