Unchain the women directors!


I have been a fan of the Guerrilla Girls for a hell of a long time, and their latest venture only makes me love them more.
In collaboration with MoviesByWomen.com, the Guerrilla Girls bought a billboard space in Los Angeles down the street from the Kodak theater (where the Oscars take place). The billboard–which is just bad-ass–features some pretty disturbing stats:
Women directed only 7 percent of the top 200 films of 2005. No woman has ever won the Oscar for best director. And only three have been nominated.
Those numbers aren’t exactly award-winning. But perhaps what Lori at Broadsheet calls the “glare of Ms. Kong” will change some minds.
