Oh, it's especially awful in Denmark at the moment, unfortunately.

So yeah, I agree. But Cannes is even more awful than they could be. Venice, Berlin, Locarno, they've at least given a few awards to women. Cannes just bumbles along, putting Sean Penn and Jacques Doillon in the main competition, then saying there is no room for women because they only choose the best of the best.

Tragic how the 'but is she qualified?' argument is represented in all circumstances, in all industries.
