The Madrid Festival Cine por Mujeres is aimed at all audiences with the goal of becoming an unmissable annual event on the international scene of film festivals. In this edition, fiction reigns supreme with 10 films released for the first time in Madrid and three of them in Spain. Many have been awarded at international festivals such as Cannes. We will also screen the recent winner of the Concha de oro at San Sebastian Festival.
We have made sure that each of these screenings is going to be a unique and unrepeatable experience and for this we have invited many of its directors to Madrid to present their films and to hold a debate with the audience:
-
Nathalie Álvarez Mesén - Costa Rica
-
Ángeles Cruz - Mexico
-
Cecilia Félmeri - Hungary
-
Paula Hernández - Argentina
-
Clara Roquet - Spain
This competition is a great opportunity to enjoy and catch up for two weekends with the best cinema of the last two years produced in 12 countries on 3 continents: Belgium, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Hungary, Mexico, the Netherlands, Romania, South Korea, Spain, Sweden and the USA.
