I’m getting back up to speed and decided to wade in on some fall film festivals news.

The Telluride Film Festival kicked off today and there are 24 films listed in the main lineup called “the show.”  Of the 24 films announced guess how many are directed by women?

1.5.

One film – OKA! AMERIKEE is directed by Lavinia Currier and a second, THE TENTH INNING is directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick.

That’s 6.25%.

It’s just so fun to come back after almost two weeks off and know that nothing has changed.  Sigh.
