TEA Tenerife Hosts Film Series to Mark Month Against Gender-Based Violence
TEA Tenerife Espacio de las Artes is hosting a special film series featuring Jorge Perugorría’s Neurótica anónima to mark the Month Against Gender-Based Violence through screenings, discussions, and short film showcases.
This weekend, TEA Tenerife Espacio de las Artes is joining the institutional efforts to mark the Month Against Gender-Based Violence. The center is hosting a special series featuring the new film Neurótica anónima (2025), directed by Jorge Perugorría.
More than just a film screening, the event serves as a platform to discuss the issue of sexist violence, which is central to the movie’s plot. Based on a play by Mirtha Ibarra, the film celebrates the actress's 60-year career. She co-wrote the screenplay with Perugorría, dedicating the work to the memory of iconic Cuban filmmakers Tomás Gutiérrez Alea and Juan Carlos Tabío.
The screenings will also have an educational focus. On Friday and Saturday, Mirtha Ibarra and actor Joel Angelino will introduce the film. Friday’s session will also feature a panel discussion with Ibarra, Angelino, filmmakers Santiago and Teodoro Ríos, and Aurelio Carnero.
The program concludes with a short film showcase. Following the screenings on Saturday and Sunday, the center will present WC Story, directed by Santiago Ríos and starring Joel Angelino and Gretel Cazón. This series highlights the creative collaboration between artists from both sides of the Atlantic, reinforcing TEA’s role as a hub for socially conscious cinema.
