Yet according to Delphyne Besse from the pro-parity "50/50 for 2020" collective, Berlin is the film festival "which does the most" to ensure female representation. Eliza Hittmann's film about a teenage abortion "Never Rarely Sometimes Always" is up for the Golden Bear, while Kitty Green's "The Assistant" has caused such a stir that organisers were forced to schedule an extra screening.
