Instituto Cervantes celebrates Women’s Month with ‘Female Filmmakers’

While men continue to dominate filmmaking on the world stage, several critics have noted that this is slowly changing with many women emerging as promising female directors.

To celebrate International Women’s Day this March, Instituto Cervantes de Manila, in collaboration with the Embassy of Spain and the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP), presents “Female Filmmakers,” a special eight-film line-up that showcases the achievements of contemporary Spanish, Latin American and Filipino female filmmakers who have established themselves as an important force in their own countries’ screen culture.
