Next March 8th, #InternationalWomensDay, we invite the entire Mexican community and all those who are interested to watch "Resistencias Fílmicas", a documentary series produced by PROCINE based on interviews with 55 women and sexual dissidents from the audiovisual industry.
Resistencias Fílmicas integrates 5 chapters: Naming violence, Right to motherhood, Our stories, Film Sorority and Utopias, where the protagonists, from their own direct or indirect experience describe how they define gender violence; how they have overcome and confronted it, how they have organized themselves in the creation of collectives and/or support ties on sets, filming, festivals, film clubs and the necessary actions they propose to eradicate these behaviours to achieve spaces free of violence. In the series, the space for complaints stands out, however, it is not of a punitive nature; but of dissemination and resolution of conflicts in order to promote their prevention, reduction and eradication. Similarly, it aims to contribute to the reconstruction of the social fabric in the audiovisual field, as a political, aesthetic space and promoter of a culture of peace. The first two chapters address the concept of gender violence explained by more than 30 filmmakers and the experience of being a mother in this sector.
The first chapters will be available from Monday, March 7th and the episode "Our stories" can be viewed from March 11th, on this platform: https://diplomaciacultural.mx
