On May 14, the Cinematheque at the La Valona building, on the Elche campus of the Miguel Hernández University, will host the film forum The Dark Side of the Moon, a cultural initiative that invites audiences to reframe patriarchal narratives by placing wise, complex, and powerful women at the center.

The event, which will begin at 7:00 p.m., offers a journey through stories that unsettle, resonate, and leave a lasting impression, opening up a space for critical reflection from a gender perspective through short films and the subsequent discussion.

 

 

The program includes the screening of four recent works:
• Sacra Lunaria (2024), directed by Mey Montero
• Las Medidoras (2025), directed by Gustavo R. Cuneo
• Medea a la Deriva (2024), directed by Mary Cruz Leo
• El Mal Donat (2024), directed by Alfons Casal and Héctor Mas

Following the screenings, a discussion session with the audience will take place.

Admission will be free until full capacity is reached. In addition, those interested can register in advance through the following form: https://forms.gle/fgLZ4jyGezJ4tLA29

The film forum is coordinated by Anastasia Téllez Infantes (UMH) and María Amparo Calabuig Puig (UM), and is co-organized with Festival de Cortometrajes Helena Cortesina, Unidad de Igualdad UMH, Grupo de Investigación Economía, Cultura y Género (ECULGE), Observatorio de las Masculinidades UMH, CONCULTDIOSA I UMH, Centro Interdisciplinar de Estudios de Género (CIEG), Mujeres por la Igualdad and AEPA.
