The IV Madrid Women's Film Festival, which brings to the public a selection of recent national and international films directed by women to contribute to their visibility, will take place between 27 October and 7 November 2021 in different venues and a mixed format: on-site and online.
With the attendance of 23,656 spectators in the cinema and online and 639 media impacts worth 1,035,392 euros in the last edition, held in November 2020, the event has strengthened its position within the national festival scene at a very difficult time for the sector. Over the last 3 years we have been growing in quality, number of films and venues (on-site and online).
In addition, we are strengthening our presence in Spain through the prestigious online independent and auteur cinema platform FILMIN, where we will replicate part of the programme and the main sections.
The 4th edition of the festival is expanding its cinematographic offer with a special focus on the most innovative Chinese cinema with a selection of 6 films that will be seen at the Academia de Cine and Cineteca Madrid, which will make up the Focus China section, programmed in collaboration with the China Women's Film Festival.
New in this edition, the festival extends its programme to the Istituto Italiano di Cultura in Madrid and to the Salón de Actos of the Postgraduate School of the University Camilo José Cela.
Training is a basic cornerstone of our festival with many lectures, roundtables, meetings and debates to be held thanks to participation of female directors, scriptwriters, producers, actresses, female cinematography directors, distributors, animation directors, film editors, sound engineers, special visual effects technicians, art directors, production design directors, location scouting, script girls, music composers, creators all of them.
The IV edition of Madrid Women's Film Festival builds on the success of previous editions, whose figures endorse the project, and once again enjoys the invaluable support of the company MAELOC, as well as other collaborating entities, which renew their commitment to cinema and equality.
