81 YEARS OF BEST DIRECTORS. NO WOMEN.

No woman has ever won an Academy Award for Best Director and only
three have ever been nominated. The last woman nominated was Sofia
Coppola in 2004 for “Lost in Translation”. The overwhelming majority of
films seen today are directed by men. Even contemporary male directors
wonder why there aren't more female directors in the industry.

It's a complicated issue, but one thing is certain. We need to encourage
more women to enter the world of film through our financial support.
