Directed by Women Spain Festival

From 8 to 13 September, Directed by Women Spain will celebrate its twelfth edition with a programme combining premieres, documentaries, short films and parallel activities devoted to women's audiovisual creation.

The opening will be led by Yo no moriré de amor, Marta Matute's feature-film debut, while the rest of the programme will offer 40 contemporary short films and eight documentaries by filmmakers of different backgrounds and styles.

Beyond the screenings, the festival will open spaces for dialogue among sector professionals. Director Almudena Carracedo will give a workshop open to the public, and filmmaker Andrea Jaurrieta will take part in a meeting on series production alongside casting director Natalia Ajero and producer María Beltrán. The programme is rounded off with a session specially designed for children.

During the festival, VISOR. Archivo de cine feminista will also be presented, a project promoted by Plataforma By Women with funding from Ministerio de Cultura, which seeks to preserve and highlight works made by women and expand access to this audiovisual heritage.
