MUJERDOC - II International Documentary Festival

The submissions of the films for MUJERDOC - II International Documentary Festival on Gender are from February 22nd, 2010 being accepted. The festival is organized by NGO Mujeres del Mundo from Soria, Spain. The producers and directors from all over the world can present their works until June 30th, 2010.

MUJERDOC aims to be a platform for the exhibition of DOCUMENTARIES that contribute to the promotion of the equal possibilities of men and women. The access of women to the social, civil, political and sexual rights; the equality of opportunities; the defense of the different cultures between people, the stereotypes and roles associated to women in the sexist social model; the oppression practiced by some religions against the freedom to choose and the freedom of sexual identity…these are the topics that festival’s first edition brought up.

The festival, in its second edition, will carry on valuing especially the gender focused works that are carried out with the respect on the cultural, sexual and ethnic diversity as a key to the construction of a world that would settle down on the principles such as respect, equality, justice and freedom.

The selected works will be screened in the Festival that takes place in Soria, Spain, in the middle of October 2010. The selected documentaries will compete for the following awards:
-Award for Woman: 2.000 Euros (works eligible will be the ones in which the director is a woman). This award has been sponsored by ARVAL.
-Award for Medium-length film/Full-length film: 2.000 Euros (length must exceed 30 minutes). This award has been sponsored by Bar/Restaurant Herradores.
-Award for Short film: 1.000 Euros (length must be below 30 minutes) This award has been sponsored by Estrella Damm.
