VIDEO : French Director Calls Gender Bias At Film Festival

Refinery29 writes that, "Many have called out Hollywood for the lack of representation when it comes to women directors, producers, and writers. Adding to the conversation is French director Jacques Audiard, who called out sexism on the festival circuit." Audiard's new western, "The Sisters Brothers" at the Venice International Film Festival. He was surprised and appalled when he noticed the festival only featured one woman director out of 20 titles. Refinery29 states that, "In his speech at the Venice, Audiard stressed that he was not trying to attack the festival?s organizers but noted that the argument of not taking a filmmaker?s gender into account during the selection process is doing everyone a disservice."
