I just think that realising the woman you were obsessed with and inspired by for years was in fact the you who killed and escaped her abusive husband is so so beautiful and cool
Venice Film Festival boss Alberto Barbera says May El-Toukhy is the only female director in competition because "she's the only one we found of adequate quality to compete internationally."
"We were hoping to find more female-directed films for competition, but fewer were submitted. Women-directed fiction films accounted for 24% of submissions this year, compared with 30% last year. Unfortunately, we also found them to be of lower quality, so we weren’t able to include more in competition. That’s a great disappointment, but there should be no suspicion of any bias on our part. We are absolutely opposed to selecting films based on gender because we don’t believe it’s beneficial. It’s humiliating for women if they’re thought to have been chosen because they’re women rather than because they made a good film."

Venice Film Festival boss Alberto Barbera responds to there being no Hollywood studio movies at the festival and why Tom Cruise's "Digger" skipped:
"The studios are in such a state of stalemate, struggling and redefining themselves by merging. Or in any case, experiencing an identity crisis, that auteur films usually destined for festivals just aren’t there. It’s not because they don’t want to come to our festival. The only film that could have — and this was a marketing choice made by Warner Bros., we can’t do anything about it — is Alejandro González Iñárritu’s 'Digger' with Tom Cruise. They announced months ago that they were bypassing all the fall festivals to release it directly in theaters. That is a marketing choice that, I believe, is less linked to the concern of the negative impact a festival can have. It’s just that I believe that film is so powerful and beautiful that this concern does not exist on anyone’s part. But that it is a marketing choice."
