Feminist and historical film screenings in Spain and South

Overview

Cultural events in Spain and Paraguay have focused on feminist and historical cinema. In mid-September, the XXVI Huesca Women's Film Festival in Spain scheduled a screening of the 1923 silent film ‘La Souriante Madame Beudet’ to explore feminist themes. Concurrently, Paraguay’s ‘Cine de Barrio’ hosted a screening of the 1961 drama ‘The Children's Hour’ as part of a cycle titled ‘Historias prohibidas’ to address social stigma.

By October, Spanish film initiatives expanded to include large-scale festivals. The National Cycle of Cinema and Rural Women launched a month-long program across twenty locations in León to highlight women in rural environments. Additionally, the ninth edition of the Cine por Mujeres Madrid festival was scheduled to showcase nearly 70 feature films across 18 venues in central Madrid, featuring international and Spanish competitions.
