More Women in Film: CIMA and Its Positive Work to Change the Negative
Abstract
This article aims to analyse the role of the Association of Women Filmmakers and Audiovisual Media (CIMA) in promoting female creation in the Spanish audiovisual sector. To do so, a review is made of its origin and objectives as an association and an account of the different initiatives that have been carried out from 2006 to 2021, highlighting the most notable results. Its work is analysed by dividing it into three areas: 1.- The institutional field with the improvements introduced in the cinematographic legislation and its reflection in the annual figures on the presence of women in Spanish cinema. 2.- The various initiatives to give visibility to professional women in Spanish cinema. 3.- The training and promotion programs for female creation and production that it has launched. The contribution of CIMA in the promotion of films made by women in Spain is confirmed.
