Formerly known as the “International Film Festival,” the Cannes Film Festival roars for two weeks every May. This year marks 76 years of the festival, and Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania is making some major waves.
According to the Celluloid Ceiling, women make up 21% of all directors, writers, producers, executive producers, editors and cinematographers working on the top 100 grossing films as of 2020. Two of those women, Karolina Markiewicz and Marion Guth, use their platforms to bring attention to social issues including feminism, immigration, sexual violence during wartime, colonization and much more.
Thank you for your support…we can’t do it without you!
