About the Film Series: Feminine Spaces is a Spanish language cinema experience that centers on female filmmakers and the female experience. This iteration focuses on adolescence, which has historically been a cinematic territory marked by high emotional intensity. A space of uncertainty, excess, and contradictions where everything seems on the verge of breaking… or beginning. This film series invites us to revisit that stage of life from a feminine and diverse perspective, avoiding the clichés of adolescence as merely a tale of love, rebellion, or trauma. Espacio Femenino is curated by Filmtopia and presented by Instituto Cervantes and NHCC.
