'Short Films by Women' are screened in Maspalomas

 

The five short films from the 2026 'Women in Short Films' traveling showcase, organized by Trama, the Coordinator of Film, Video, and Multimedia Showcases and Festivals by Women, will be screened at 19:00 PM this Wednesday, April 8th, at the Maspalomas Cultural Center. The program includes the documentaries 'Cara de bicicleta' (Bicycle Face) and 'Los chicos con las chicas' (Boys with Girls), and the fiction films 'Tenemos que hablar' (We Need to Talk), 'Tú no' (Not You), and 'Un día perfecto' (A Perfect Day).

 

'Bicycle Face', directed by Amaia Nerekan Umaran and Itziar Zorita Aguirre, is presented as a striking 23-minute audiovisual essay that explores the historical relationship between women and bicycles. 

 

 

 

'Boys with Girls', by Claudia García de Mateos, reflects on gender identity from childhood. Set in a school playground and through personal memories and questions, the film examines the roles and expectations that mark the transition to adolescence.

 

'We need to talk', written and directed by Caterina Muñoz Luceño, and starring Marta Nieto, Manuela Paso and Israel Elejalde, focuses on emotional dependence and the guilt and fears generated by breaking with that affective dynamic.

 

'Not You', by Marta Albert González, starring Ramón Pujol and Alicia Reyero, talks about responsibility, consequences and how society deals with certain forms of violence.

 

'A Perfect Day', directed by Mariela Artiles Merino, tells the story of Julia, who leaves the hospital to spend a weekend with her lifelong friends in a house full of memories and faces a crucial decision.
