To complement this year’s screening of Con la pata quebrada, this introductory talk will explore how Spanish cinema has responded to the changing status of women in Spanish society since the transition to democracy.
This session will concentrate on the representations of ‘bad’ women, focusing on films, genres and stars that criticize or defy female models created and shaped by patriarchal culture and historical, social and cultural vicissitudes.
Led by Carmen Herrero, Principal Lecturer in Hispanic Studies at Manchester Metropolitan University.
