‘The Substance’ Director Coralie Fargeat Pulls Film From Camerimage Following Festival Head’s Comments About Women
Coralie Fargeat has pulled her film "The Substance" from Camerimage following comments the festival director made about female cinematographers.
“After discovering the highly misogynistic and offensive words of the director of the Camerimage Film Festival, I have decided to pull ‘The Substance’ from the festival (and [director of photography] Benjamin Kračun has decided not to attend),” Fargeat wrote in a statement posted to her X account. “Having read Marek Zydowicz’s op-ed concerning female cinematographers, I have decided not to attend the opening night presentation of my film ‘Blitz’ this weekend,” McQueen said in a statement to Variety. Let us have a conversation and determine the steps that will make the festival, our industry, more open, unified and representative of all voices.”
