Venice Jury Head Lucrecia Martel Says Polanski Has Right to Be in Lineup But She Won't Celebrate Him

The VeniceFilmFestival has been criticized for its inclusion of Nate Parker and Roman Polanski, as well as making room for only two women out of 21 competition films

Martel denied finding enough information to sway her opinion. “I have tried to find this information. I only found two isolated comments,” she said.

“I believe this movie deserves to have a chance,” added Martel, because of the types of humanistic topics that Polanski includes in his films. Martel also disagreed with Barbera on the lack of women in competition. Barbera has maintained in countless interviews that he will never enforce a gender quota in the lineup, which he believes would sacrifice the quality of the festival. Martel, however, saw them as an imperfect system that could help in the short-term.

Martel challenged Barbara directly, asking him, “Just imagine a situation where we have a 50:50 lineup. Are you sure that the quality would really decrease, or would this instead lead to a different situation in the industry? This kind of transformation is so deep that perhaps it wouldn’t be too bad if we were to implement a situation such as this.”.
