New Ibero-American Cinema. Women Directors Call the Shots

New Ibero-American Cinema. Women Directors Call the Shots Imagen: Outplay Films. Diseño: Lola Montero (Instituto Cervantes)

As part of the Instituto Cervantes' commitment to showcasing the latest productions in Ibero-American cinema, this series highlights the work of four directors who have made their mark in the film production of the continent and internationally in Spanish-language cinema, as evidenced by their presence at major auteur film festivals. The four films in this series feature stories led by different women, offering a rich and committed narrative focused on women's culture. Originating from Chile, Mexico, Argentina, and Spain, where the only documentary of the series comes from, the programme aims to present a horizon to understand diverse realities.


This programme is carried out in collaboration with the Ibero-American Festival of Huelva, where female directors have accounted for 50% of the programmed films for several years. This selection of titles reveals four examples of great magnetism and beauty.
