Es Baluard hosts, within the FES’19 (Summer Festivals in Es Baluard) program, the II edition of Directed by Women Spain, a non-competitive festival characterized by the technical and thematic diversity of short films and films of its programming and for being a meeting space and promotion platform to make visible the cinema directed by women. For this edition, the event expands its program and will have one more day in the museum in relation to the previous year.

In addition, this festival is the international festival of cinema directed by women. It is a social movement dedicated to the vindication of the presence of women in the film industry. Directed by Women was born in Spain on the initiative of the By Women cultural platform, a multidisciplinary team of professional women from the audiovisual world and cultural management, with the aim of joining this international network where more than twenty countries in an altruistic way participate every year in the international festival of cinema directed by women.

The festival will be held during the month of September in Palma and will include a varied program with screenings of short films, fiction films and documentaries, meetings of the directors with the public, round tables, workshops, debates and live music.

Tickets here also at the museum on the same day as the screenings.
