US EditionNicole Kidman Laments 'Incredibly Low' Number of Women-Directed Films
- At the Cannes Film Festival, where Nicole Kidman was honored with a Women In Motion award presented by Kering, she expressed concern over the strikingly low number of hit films directed by women today.
- In response to the persistent gender gap among directors, she committed in 2017 to collaborating with a female director regularly—approximately once every one and a half years—to help improve representation.
- Since her pledge eight years ago, Kidman confirmed she has collaborated with 27 female directors and praised Mascha Schilinski’s German-language film The Sound of Falling as an early critic favorite.
- Kidman highlighted that only seven of the 22 films competing this year in Cannes are directed by women and called it fantastic to have The Sound of Falling heard on the world stage.
- Her recognition and ongoing efforts underscore the slow improvement in female representation in film directing and suggest a cautious optimism for future change in the industry.
