Cinema, women and the Mediterranean come together in the cycle proposed by Tres Cultuars for the month of March, which aims to be a meeting place for cinematography from both shores and a vindication of the visibility of women and their creations.
The films that will be screened in our auditorium focus on the messages and visions of female directors who show the different realities of neighbouring countries and claim, from their position as women, their own spaces, voices and styles to tell their stories, showing the diversity of the Mediterranean through their gazes.
We will enter a villa, Villa Toumawhere time has been stopped by the Palestinian director Suha Arraf.
On 8 March, with the screening of ConstituentsWe will pay tribute to the first Spanish women who took part in politics in the constituent legislature of 1977, and thanks to Oliva Acosta's documentary, we will learn how they lived that time.
In the next session, we will feel the oppression and anguish of the young Tunisian director Leyla Bouzid, who shows us through her film how she experienced the Arab Spring in her country.
And in the last session with Rock the CasbahWe will participate in a mourning through the vision of different women of the family shown by the Moroccan director Laila Marrakchi.
