Film production and distribution of the WomanInFan grants.
The winners of WomanInFan – Sitges Fanlab 2023 contests

The figure of the filmmaker within the fantastic is considered a rare bird. The cultural and social patterns that prevail in the film industry have traditionally identified certain genres as belonging to the female sensibility, entrusting the leadership of projects within horror, science fiction, action or thriller, for example, to male creators. WomanInFan was born with the aim of claiming the role of the filmmaker within the fantastic genre.
