cont from New Zealand in context

Jane Campion interviewed in 2014 at Cannes And what about gender parity on a grander scale? > "At film schools... the gender balance is about 50/50. Women do really well in short-film competitions. It's when business and commerce and art come together; somehow men trust men more... My feeling is we need an Abraham Lincoln figure to get in there, and say -- especially when it comes to public money -- it has to be equal. > "[Women] are 50% of the population. That's a good point and [state funding] is where you can push really hard and say something's wrong here, we want change." Advice for young filmmakers? Women filmmakers? > "When I talk to young women film-makers, I say: don't think about this too much. Being a director is very tough, and you need everything you've got just to do your best job. You doing a brilliant job is your best support. Just get on with it. > "Film-making is not about whether you're a man or a woman; it's about sensitivity and hard work and really loving what you do. But women are going to tell different stories – there would be many more stories in the world if women were making more films." > and
