Every year movies festivals around the world present awards for best director. Some of this festival began ten years ago, and their list of winners for best director are quite long. However, among all the names of winners, it's not easy to find the names of female directors.

The Cannes Film festival is the first major movie festival to name female director as best director of the year in 1961, A Russian director called Yuliya Solnsteva won at Cannes. Since then, some movies directed by female directors have one Best Picture. But no female directors have one Best Director at Cannes.

The Best Director award at the Berlin International Film Festival is called the Silver Bear award. Only one woman has succeeded in winning it so far. She was Astrid Henning-Jensen from Denmark. Over her career, she directed more than 20 movies and in 1979, she won the Silver Bear for her movie Winterborn.

It is the most difficult for female directors to win Best Director in the Oscars in the USA. In fact, since the Oscars began in 1929, only four women have ever been nominated for Best Director. The first woman to actually win this award was Kathryn Bigelow for directing The Hurt Locker. She received the award in 2010.

Over the years, women have directed many wonderful movies. People like them even though they don’t win awards. And they make nice films. For example, Nora Ephron directed the great romantic-comedy Sleepless in Seattle and Vicky Jenson directed a wonderful animated movie Shrek.
