The figure represents double the female representation seen in Venice's 2017 and 2018 competition lineups, each of which had only a single title directed by a woman. But it still seems paltry, particularly after Venice's boisterous festival director Alberto Barbera last year bowed to pressure to sign the so-called 5050 by 2020protocol, which commits the festival to release statistics on submissions and be more transparent about its selection board’s gender make-up.
The 5050 by 2020 pledge, however, does not require Venice to agree to gender quotas — Barbera has said he would quit if a quota were imposed on the world’s oldest film fest, arguing competition titles must be selected on the basis of quality, not gender representation.from Cannes 2018 winner Hirokazu Kore-eda to James Gray's space epic, Venice 2019 is looking like another banner year.
In recent years, Venice has had the worst record when it comes to female representation in its competition lineup, averaging just one movie from a women director per year . Though it has been better. In each of the 2012, 2011, and 2009 events, the festival hosted four competition titles directed by women.

Probably less than 10 percent of the movies are directed by women. In Hollywood and worldwide. In Venezia76 selection is the same. Anyway I'm waiting to see that movies before to judge. Man or women. VeniceFilmFestival
VeniceFilmFestival shame!
As the Oscars proved, it doesn't mean one of them won't win.
How many from the gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, flat earth communities? I am outraged. I'll quit watching movies now.
Did you ever think that shit like this may be the reason you get 7 likes a day and have to post the same tweet 3 times a day? It’s tiresome
Or, just saying, make better movies.
Maybe they should just pick the best movies instead of worrying about who made them.
And what would be ok? Obligatory 50/50 quotas? Then it would also require race quotas? Then binary/non binary quotas? Quotas based on country of origin? Movies should be selected based on quality, not the race, gender, origin... of the director.
Its 2019 this is disgrace... let’s boycott them , no gay directors, jewsh , muslim , transgender , handicap, HIV+ , single dads this is shameful i will never watch movies again 😒😒😒
And one rapist.
Perhaps they should make better films. 🤷♂️
