Woman in fan

Program for the visibility and inclusion of women creators in fantastic cinema.

Woman In Fan

The main objective of the WomanInFan program is to give greater visibility to and incorporate female creators in the field of fantastic genre filmmaking. It aims to vindicate the role of women filmmakers within a historically male-dominated genre, highlighting both the legacy of all those forgotten female pioneers and the work of contemporary professionals. Its lines of action include historical recovery by means of a documentary archive, awareness-raising campaigns and role models, the creation of a dedicated space within the Sitges FanLab offering grants for new women filmmakers, and strengthening both domestic and international networks that promote gender equality in the audiovisual industry. In addition, WomanInFan consolidates a genuine space for the development and dissemination of female talent within the fantastic genre.
