Between the gender pay gap for actors and the obstacles female directors face, the evidence of Hollywood’s institutional sexism is mounting. And Canada has something to say about it: The National Film Board Of Canada has announced that at least half of its productions will be directed by women, and half of its funding will go toward films directed by women. The plan will be rolled out over the next three years, and the board will remain completely transparent in its budgetary allocations by making all production spending information publicly available online. For the current fiscal year, 43.4 percent of the board’s production spending will go toward projects directed by women, and 43.5 percent will go toward projects directed by men. Additionally, 11.3 percent of the board’s production spending will go toward projects directed by mixed teams, and 1.8 percent hasn‘t been allocated yet.
