‘Romería’ Director Carla Simón on the Importance of Gender Equity in Filmmaking: Women Are ‘Half of the World, We Should Tell Half of the Stories’
Acclaimed director Carla Simón spoke about the importance of gender equity in filmmaking during her Kering Women in Motion Talk at Cannes.
“And I think we live in a moment [where] there’s a historical reparation of themes that have always been told by men, and suddenly we take our perspective. Simón continued that this is “so, so needed” because stories “mark society” and are ultimately what help the world to evolve. “Romería” is a personal film for Simón, as it follows an orphaned young woman who travels to the Spanish city of Vigo looking for more information about her biological father, who died of AIDS.
