A new study, run by the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University, has found that a record number of films were helmed by female directors in 2020. Of the top 100 grossing films, the report states that women accounted for 16% of directors, up from 12% in 2019, and a paltry 4% in 2018.
Clearly, this shows that there’s still a lot of work to be done, despite the upward trend. The
Celluloid Ceiling report – which has been published annually for two decades – also notes that only 21% of all directors, writers, producers, executive producers, editors, and cinematographers working on last year’s top 100 films were female (up one percentage point from 2019).
