Director Andrea Arnold's win of the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival is, of course, one in the net for female film directors.

With Ken Loach winning the coveted top prize, the Palme d'Or, this was a great year for British film directors. Arnold's 'American Honey' is an exuberant and lyrical US-shot road movie about a trouple of homeless teens selling magazines across the Midwestern hearland. Arnold has received the prize twice before, for Red Road and Fish Tank.
