1. Films by women Madrid Festival has become an annual event in the International film festival calendar in Spain. Aimed at all audiences, we want to make it clear that women film directors make quality feature films, whether fiction, documentary or animation, in all kind of genres: comedy, police, war, horror, science fiction, adventure. 

2. To be a showcase for the best recent national and international feature films by female directors from at least 20 different countries. 

3. Organise training activities with the aim of highlighting the role of women professionals in the cinematographic production value chain: creation and training > production and reproduction > distribution and commercialization > promotion and marketing > consumption and accesibility. 

4. To contribute significant elements to the current debate on the role of women in film and its field of action. To become a space for meeting, exchange and dialogue between women filmmakers with different concerns and professional approaches.

5. To highlight the value of female and Spanish professional talent that resides inside and outside the country. Putting female creators from different parts of the world in contact with each other, establishing an exchange of information and reaching common proposals. Recognition begins with knowledge.

6. Visibility as equity. Since cinema gives visibility and proposes role models, this festival is the best way to educate and teach that the role of women in cinema can be anywhere: in front of and behind the cameras. We want to make visible references that inspire young people through the example of creative women. An education in equality and diversity must definitely put an end to inequality in the film industry. 

7. Debates and audience participation. Organise debates as a means of interaction and closeness with the audience. The themes dealt with are an opportunity to talk about aspects of reality from the perspective of the women film directors.

8. Meet the female directors of a country. Each edition the festival has a guest country with the aim of giving an insight into their recent film production.

9. To become a platform for training and information on women in the film sector.

10. With more than 100 women's film festivals, the Festival is already positioned among them, in order to maintain Madrid as an international reference in terms of film and equality.
