tell me why on the sole film podcast i listen to three grown ass men in their 30s and 40s, one of whom is a literal producer and writer for game of thrones, one a former critic for entertainment weekly, and the other an indie actor and filmmaker, had the audacity to tell me that they either 1. didn’t start watching agnes varda films until this podcast brought her up (her episode was a year ago), 2. have never even heard of her most famous film, an iconic inclusion of the french new wave genre, or 3. just straight up don’t like her

#i know you’re all getting sick of my constant posts about hollywood sexism #but this is LITERALLY why i spend all my time defending women filmmakers #and advocating for them ABOVE and IN THE PLACE OF men #because i see and experience shit like this every day and on every level of the industry #and it made me so sick that i had to leave the industry #but we need to start countering this bullshit. or they’ll move the goalposts forever
