• Official poster features 'Thelma & Louise'
• 50/50 collective criticizes low female director count
• Calls for genuine gender parity

"The Cannes Film Festival's official poster for 2026 features a still from 'Thelma & Louise', drawing criticism from the feminist collective 50/50. Despite the prominent female imagery, the number of women directors in the official selection remains low. The collective highlights the persistent gender disparity and calls for real change, not just symbolism."
