The battle for gender equality in the cinema industry is gaining ground but victory is a long way off, representatives of Time’s Up! UK, L.A.-based org ReFrame, France’s Collectif 50/50 and Brazil’s Mulheres group told a panel in Cannes on Friday.
“One of the reasons I was so excited to be here today is that we need to constantly talk across borders, we’re a global industry and we need to share these insights because the powers and the forces against us are very, very significant,” said Heather Rabbatts, chair of the UK’s Times Up Association.
The panel, organized by the French gender equality group Collectif 50/50, took stock of what progress has been made in achieving gender parity in the film industry at the five-year milestone of #MeToo.
It also coincided with the fifth anniversary of the 2018 red carpet protest in which 82 women climbed the steps of Cannes’s Palais des Festivals to demand gender equality in the film industry.
The participants, who included then Jury President Cate Blanchett alongside her female jury members Kristen Stewart, Ava DuVernay, Lea Seydoux and Burundian singer Khadja Nin, each represented one of the 82 women who had made it into Competition across the festival’s 71-year history, against the 1,866 men who made the cut.
Five years on, the tally stands at 100 women versus 1,929 men, not counting 2020, when there was no Competition as a result of the cancellation of the festival due to the Covid-10 pandemic.
In a positive trend, this year a record seven women have made it into Competition, representing 33% of directors in the running for the Palme d’Or, the highest percentage ever.
However, Rabbatts warned against complacency.
“There’s a sense because we’ve got 33% that we can declare

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Of all the things Belinda Carlisle has been mad about in recent years, her career as a pop solo artist has not been high up there, from all appearances. That changed with the May release of “Kismet,” a five-song EP that finally found Carlisle dipping a toe back into the recording studio with her first new collection of English-language pop music since 1996, including a single titled “Big Big Love,” which really did have the beat (as opposed to her last album, a mantra record). But if there’s any pop star of her generation that hasn’t cravenly coveted the spotlight, and isn’t likely to start now, it’s Carlisle, who seems like she’d be perfectly content even if Diane Warren hadn’t talked her into finally reentering the studio for a new batch of songs. Long an American expat and constant traveler, the singer seems quite content to spend most of her time with her husband of 37 years, Morgan Mason, at home in Mexico City, with only occasional forays onto the road. She’s not making any promises one way or another about whether this EP presages a full solo album… though Carlisle will offer assurances that the Go-Go’s are “done,” having gone out on top, in her estimation, with a long-, long-awaited Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.
