The Festival Cine por Mujeres is back with a second edition full of parallel activities. We will deepen the audiovisual training of our public, and develop activities related to the industry.
To make things change, we have to make visible more female references to be inspiring in particular for young female creators as well as for the general audience. The support of the media, the education system and the entire society is essential in this task. With this objective in perspective, the Cine por Mujeres Festival will bring to Madrid the main European female audiovisual managers, directors of international festivals, film producers and directors, who will dialogue with Spanish professionals and the attending audience.
For 6 days, you will have the opportunity to learn live with great national and international film professionals … DON´T MISS IT!
Under the motto “Visibility for equality”, we will organize round tables, debates, conferences, film presentations and talks with their women directors. We intend to highlight the presence of women throughout the CULTURE VALUE PRODUCTION CHAIN: Creation and training, production, screening/promotion, marketing/distribution, marketing/consumption and accessibility to the industry.
Programming subject to change.
