The Mostra Internacional de Films de Dones de Barcelona is a festival that emerged in 1993 with the purpose of making films directed by women visible and promoting female audiovisual culture. Throughout almost three decades, it has become a cultural space and an exhibition platform committed to the debate on creative processes. La Mostra highlights the importance of the contribution of women in audiovisual creation and addresses the role of festivals in the cinematographic journey. Unlike most film festivals, the Mostra offers a non-competitive alternative, organizing its events in both summer and fall.
