Directors' group to investigate after Cannes film festival snubs women for Palme d'Or prize
The woman behind the hugely successful new BBC drama Parade's End is leading a campaign to give female directors a better deal in television.
Susanna White, whose adaptation of Ford Madox Ford's four-volume novel is winning widespread acclaim, is a member of Directors UK, a group representing British film and television directors, which has set up an all-women working party to examine the difficulties experienced by aspiring female directors. The move is partly a response to the fact that no women were entered for the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes film festival.
White told the Observer that she had only broken into the top ranks of directors with extreme difficulty. "I think my journey has been a very, very, slow one."
Welcoming the new focus, she said: "I'm very keen for this to happen.
