The 63rd Cannes Film Festival has opened, but not one female director has a film selected for competition at this year's festival. Filmdirecting4women, a UK-based grassroots group founded by filmmaker Ruth Torjussen to support women film directors, has mounted a petition destined for the festival organisers at Cannes, demanding a fairer representation of women directors in the main competition. To add your voice to their 'You Cannes Not Be Serious!' campaign, sign the online petition at www.petitiononline.com/Cannes10/petition.html.
