As every March, and coinciding with the celebration of International Women's Day, the Fundación Tres Culturas dedicates this month's screenings to women's cinema.
Because of its capacity for dissemination, film has had the ability to change attitudes, lifestyles and thinking, thus influencing our perception of reality, becoming an instrument for eliminating prejudices and encouraging other visions of the world around us.
From the French filmmaker Alice Guy-Blaché, who began her career in 1894 making almost a thousand films, to the latest generations of women directors and producers, women continue to make their way in the industry with great difficulty.
At the Fundación Tres Culturas we are doing our bit to ensure that women - as creators, as interpreters of reality - are recognised in the film industry and by the public. For this reason, to kick off the cycle, we are organising this round table for debate and reflection with five dedicated women, involved and experts in the field, distinguished for their professionalism and their fight for equality.
