We are the first mixed football team aspiring to be professional in Spain, and our goal is to make gender segregation in professional football disappear: we think it is an outdated and unfair way of categorizing footballers, when what should prevail first and foremost are technical skills and football quality, not gender.
In order to carry this project forward, we have decided to have a very powerful tool, capable of changing society and showing them other realities and possibilities: cinema.
The screening of the selected films will take place in person, at the Flori Park soccer field (San Juan Bautista neighborhood), preceded by a friendly match.
The Show wants to be an annual event of short films and documentaries from developing countries and their development, whose main characteristic is to show the public the material produced by social organizations and independent filmmakers committed to solidarity, development cooperation, eradication of poverty, denunciation and social transformation, emphasizing the Millennium Development Goals 2015 and Sustainable Development 2030 of the United Nations.

ASSERTING WOMEN'S RIGHTS is a project that has emerged from Festival de Málaga, Mabel Lozano (documentary filmmaker and collaborator of the Festival), and the Equal Opportunities Area of Malaga City Council as a protest tool. This section is created with the aim of exploring and dealing with issues that contribute to social awareness of women's rights each year.
This section of Festival de Málaga was born in 2008, this being its 18th edition. The project is conceived with a double purpose: to inform about the injustices that women still suffer in this century for the mere fact of being women, and to encourage and support the cinematographic work created by women.
Dear friends and friends:

We are deeply grateful to each and everyone who has joined the communities of audiences of the festival from distant territories, thinking of them and them is that at least part of the program will be available on an online viewing platform, for access from Peru, Bolivia and Chile.
For this year the activities will be concentrated between August 28 and September 9. Being this call open between May 13 and June 10, through FESTHOME or as a direct application by registering your films and completing the application form available on the site aricadoc.cl
