Duration
The works can last from 1 to 15 minutes, by no means may they exceed the stablished duration.

Themes
The storyline must somehow refer to the feminist struggle, the empowerment of women, different points of view from those who have no voice, the curvey aesthetics and practises. Aiming on the one hand to encourage artistic practices that assert the fight for gender equality and that generate critical thinking and on the other to bring different feminisms closer to the general public and to regain the public spaces and generate encounters. The videos need to generate reflection about the system, classic paradigms in society, culture and art by raising questions about our context and by provoking the audience.
