Sundance unveiled the competition lineups. Here is the first look at the US Dramatic and Documentary competition. There are 16 films in each category. In the dramatic category, 3 are directed by women. 2 are written by women and 3 are about women. That's under 20% female directed. The documentary category is another story. Fully 50% of the films are directed (or co-directed) by women. 8 out of 16. That's very exciting. And what I immediately noticed is the the women directed docs look at the large over arching issues of our time with several on the economy and healthcare.
