As the festival progresses, Jemma hopes for another festival filled with strong female performances. But were her expectations met?
Although Jemma was hoping for a nice and breezy Cannes 2015, it ended up being one of the more confusing stints on the south coast of France.
In 2014, just 12% of the main characters in the 100 top grossing films at the US box office were women, and they represented only 30% of all speaking characters. Only 7% of the top 250 films at the US box office were directed by women.
This year, opinion seems to be that this years Cannes provided a solid but unexceptional selection, but for me it was an experience that was full of ideas that helped me to better understand the importance of arthouse cinema beyond the Croisette.
