Director Withdraws Film from Camerimage Amid Controversy Over Misogynistic Remarks

French filmmaker Coralie Fargeat has withdrawn her film 'The Substance' from the Camerimage Film Festival in Poland due to a controversial op-ed by the festival's director, Marek Żydowicz, which was criticized for being misogynistic. The op-ed, published in Cinematography World, was denounced by industry professionals and organizations for its sexist implications regarding the growing prominence of women cinematographers. In response, several filmmakers and organizations, including the British Society of Cinematographers, have condemned Żydowicz's views, leading to further withdrawals from the festival.
