This wasn't the only protest Kristen took part in. She, along with 80 other A-listers including Ava DuVernay and Salma Hayek, participated in a silent protest at Cannes to draw attention to the fact that only 82 films directed by women have been selected to compete at Cannes in its 70-year history, compared to more than 1,600 films directed by men.
