- CIMA will organize the Professional Conference on April 24th and 25th at the Cineteca Madrid. Under the slogan “United for an equal, diverse, and violence-free audiovisual industry,” the meeting seeks to create a space for debate and reflection on cinema and the audiovisual sector from a gender perspective. The first day will focus on addressing sexual violence and abuses of power in the industry, through round tables, presentations, and group dynamics. The second day will be dedicated to audiovisual creation from a gender and intersectional perspective, highlighting the importance of including diverse views and realities in audiovisual narratives. The conferences will have conciliation measures and sign language interpreters. The complete program and accreditation process will be announced soon. More information on web.
