Zonazine documentary, in the feminine

Zonazine documentary is a program of the Instituto Cervantes. The name comes from one of the sections of the Malaga Festival - Spanish Film, with whom we co-organize this cycle of contemporary documentaries each year. The documentaries are made by Spanish and Latin American creators in the field production of documentary cinema more attached to formulas of experimentation and chronicle of reality.

In this 2022 edition we present four documentaries directed by women, in which it is easy to recognize a different formulation of political and social concerns, ranging from the inquiry about the self —as an unavoidable vital questioning— to the ecological or humanitarian complaint as a painful feature of our contemporaneity: the idea of migration and movement runs through this cycle as a characteristic feature of our world that sometimes hold hope, sadness and despair.
