Facing public pressure and mounting outrage over the lack of female representation among the filmmakers it chooses to celebrate, this year’sis making efforts to diversify beyond the cavalcade of many of the same male auteurs. Instead, there will be a record number of women directors in competition.
Moreover that kind of reductive analysis tends to overshadow the diverse range of projects being offered up by the five women in competition – a group that also includes Kelly Reichardt , Claire Denis , Valeria Bruni Tedeschi , and Charlotte Vandermeersch, the co-director of “Le Otto Montagne.” And the universal themes that they explore.
In the case of Cannes, female filmmakers are more amply represented beyond the select few that are eligible for the Palme. Parallel non-competitive Cannes Critics’ Week and Directors’ Fortnight selections or Un Certain Regard include the likes of Agnieszka Smoczyńska , Charlotte Le Bon , Mia Hansen-Løve and Alice Winocour .
