Barbera has defended the decision to include Parker’s and Polanski’s films, saying that his choices are based solely on the artistic quality of the movies. The Venice chief uses the same argument to counter criticism of the low number of female-directed films in the main competition. Barbera has taken pains to point out that this year “there are lots of films that depict the female condition around the world.” He also noted that the overall percentage of female filmmakers in the selection has risen from 20% to 24%, and that women account for 68% of works premiering in the Venice VR section pioneered by the Lido. He has firmly rejected any notion of quotas.
