About this Event
Mujeres de Cine 2023 - We Count
Under the title "WE COUNT," in 2023, Mujeres de Cine presents a film cycle in which the protagonist is the creative voice. In this way, the female directors of the four proposed films also act as screenwriters, presenting themselves within the cinematic work as creators and essential parts of the narrative. In this case, the narrative itself implies an honest commitment to creation, either through their own voices or the voices of others.
Whether it approaches the intimacy and sense of belonging to the land of the Solé family in the case of Alcarrás, peering into the mysterious figure of Isabel Santaló, an elderly artist now forgotten, in the case of "La Visita y un Jardín Secreto," or delving into the life of a small rural town, the paradise of a city girl and the cage of a local teenager, with two stories unfolding in tobacco dryers during the same summer in "Secaderos"; or even exploring the intersection of fiction and documentary, in the form of an audiovisual collage where Helena de Llanos delves into the figure of her grandfather, Fernando Fernán Gómez, through the archives of the house he shared for decades with his beloved Emma Cohen in "Viaje a alguna parte."
All of them approach their work from various perspectives and invite us to listen to their voices beyond the history itself.
This year's edition of Mujeres de Cine will showcase four films, including "Alcarras" offered by the AFI Silver Theater on November 6..
