Mai Al-Tuwahi calls for more Venice 2026 film submissions
The article focused on criticisms by Egyptian-Danish director Mai El-Tohky during the Venice Film Festival 2026 regarding the low participation of women in the film industry, emphasizing that gender balance still requires concerted efforts to achieve. She pointed out that the root of the problem lies within the industry's structure from its early stages, with women facing challenges in funding, opportunities, and media representation. Men are typically portrayed as genius creators, while female directors do not receive the same recognition. She also revealed that her new film, "An Unknown Woman," which is based on stories of Danish women after World War II, addresses issues of women's marginalization from history and social justice. It highlights society's reactions to the condemnation and targeting of women, affirming that the work aims to shed light on these ongoing problems.
