The Academy released the 65 titles eligible for the best foreign film. Only SEVEN of the 65 are directed by women. Guess that things aren’t so much better outside the US for women directors.
Here are the women, the countries and their films:
Hungary, “Chameleon,” Krisztina Goda
Indonesia, “Jamila and the President” Ratna Sarumpaet
Peru, “The Milk of Sorrow,” Claudia Llosa
South Africa, “White Wedding,” Jann Turner
Switzerland, “Home,” Ursula Meier
United Kingdom, “Afghan Star,” Havana Marking
Venezuela, “Libertador Morales, El Justiciero,” Efterpi Charalambidis
