CANNES, France - Movie stars including Salma Hayek and Eva Longoria celebrated the role of women in cinema at a glitzy gala in Cannes on Sunday, amid a drive to promote gender equality in the industry that is still falling short of what many campaigners hoped for.
Actors and filmmakers participating in this year’s edition have joined activists in warning that while industry attitudes were changing, progress was still slow. Chinese actress Gong Li, the star of “Farewell My Concubine”, was awarded a prize for her career at the event. “We hear a lot about how times are changing and improving, and it’s true. The idea is to support that trend. the figures still don’t look good,” said Delphyne Besse, a film sales specialist and one of the founders of 50/50 by 2020, the collective behind the gender parity pledge signed by Cannes.
“There are countless films by women. The question is why don’t we know about them,” she said, adding that even obituaries for female filmmakers tended to be dwarfed by those dedicated to men.
