Julie Delpy's advice to young female filmmakers: 'Freeze your eggs' | Variety Lounge at ZFF2019 presented by creditsuisse
Oscar-nominated writer, filmmaker and actress Julie Delpy, who is at the Zurich Film Festival to present her latest film “My Zoe” and participate in the Woman of Impact Symposium, shared her thoughts on the #MeToo movement, equal pay, her career highlights and the prospect of a “Before Midnight” sequel with Guy Lodge at the Variety Lounge presented by Credit Suisse.
“I think we’re done now with but we went back to it every nine years. It was an interesting study of a 20-year-old falling in love, a 30-year-old falling in love again and then at early 40’s how to sustain that love. It’s really about the relationship.” Delpy said reaching equal pay and raising the financing for movies was still tougher for female talent and directors but less so for the younger generation. Delpy said she spoke to the French director Celine Sciamma a few years ago and heard her say that she didn’t have as many difficulties getting her movie “Tomboy” financed. She said her own generation, however, was still in combat mode.
The harshness they face makes it harder for women directors to bounce back and make a second and third film. “It’s very fragile to be a woman filmmaker… Women should not be pushed by patriarchy.” Her advice for young female helmers is to “freeze eggs” to be able to make their first film before becoming a mother because it’s so difficult to juggle both.
