Directors, yes. Yes, there have to be people of both genders at the head, but everyone lives in the same world. I nearly fell off my chair when I saw those figures, and that is why I have become partly militant. I have been working for 20 years, and I have so many contracts that I can hardly breathe between two films, and I naively had the impression that everything had been resolved. When I saw that, I said to myself: “Oh my God!” When I attended a meeting where I saw extraordinary women, talented women who had not made a film for four or five years, I said to myself there was a problem. How is it that, in our society, we have the luxury to waste that talent?
