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
