Diane Kruger, a jury member at the international film festival of Marrakech spoke of female protagonists in the international cinema industry at the conference congress palace’s red carpet.
Kruger, who has participated in a number of national projects in her country Germany and international projects in Hollywood, said that while viewing FIFM’s competition movies, she didn’t see enough female protagonists.
The actress has only seen very few female leads, which she says isn’t near enough, yet she explained that she’s happy about the few that were represented.
“We still have ways to go in really representing what being a woman today means no matter what culture you live in, there is more to be done,” said Diane.
Still on female representation, Kruger said that as an actress she hopes to portray women the way they are.
She believes that it is a director’s responsibility to make movies that are a reflection of modern society, with all the ups and downs.
Kruger walked down FIFM’s red carpet with the Irish director Neil Jordan, to represent their latest movie: Marlowe.
The events are set in In the 1950s, where private detective Philip Marlowe is hired to find the ex-lover of a glamorous heiress.
The film starts Liam Neeson as the main character, Diane Kruger, Jessica Lange and more.
