Evaluation of films that pass the DESVINC TEST
The films that have won awards at the different festivals have been analysed first, considering that for this reason they may have more global echo. And although we could find some highlights that may have a humanist imprint of social criticism, they are still claims of justice within the existing order, but they do not overcome the challenge of a free thought that wants to detach itself from the Patriarchy.
