Cinecittà launches new fund with LATAM, creating a new "bridge" for Italian cinema. Meanwhile, panels tackle the animation landscape and the persistent gender imbalance in European drama.
The acclaimed Brazilian series, originally premiered on AXN Brazil in 2024 and set for Record TV in 2025, expands internationally with an Indian adaptation tackling gender-based violence.
The new series follows the deeply personal and inspiring story of one of Spain’s most cherished personalities, who, at the age of 61, embarks on the most significant journey of her life: her gender transition.
Women directed 46% of animated shorts in France in 2023 but only 27% of feature films, up from 21% in 2013. At Annecy 2025, 48% of Mifa Pitch projects are led by women, yet just 17% of Official Feature Film directors are female.
A recent report by the European Audiovisual Observatory shows that women hold just 27% of roles in European TV and SVOD fiction production. Key creative fields like cinematography and composing remain at only 10% female. At the current pace, full gender parity won’t be reached until a couple of decades.
