The Cannes Film Festival revealed the lineup for its 76th edition Thursday morning, and the Official Selection featured a record number of films directed by women filmmakers set to play in Competition.
The festival will debut six films by women in Competition. The selected films and filmmakers are La Chimera (Alice Rohrwacher), Club Zero (Jessica Hausner), Last Summer (Catherine Breillat), Anatomie d’une chute (Justine Triet), Banel et Adama (Ramata-Toulaye Sy), and Olfa’s Daughters (Kaouther Ben Hania).
The previous record of five films by female filmmakers in Competition was set last year, with a lineup that included Kelly Reichardt with the Michelle Williams-starrer Showing Up, Claire Denis’s Stars at Noon, and the Charlotte Vandermeersch co-directed Le Otto Montagne.
So far, the festival has announced 19 films that will play in Competition, so the overall number of women filmmakers remains below the 50% mark.
