She Cuts is dedicated to female film editors, the invisible force behind many acclaimed films. It aims to pay tribute to the all-too-often overlooked work of a series of remarkable women from Spain and overseas who have cut some of the great films in recent history.

If directing is a vision, editing is the heartbeat.

— Jean-Luc Godard —

The section, organised in collaboration with the Filmoteca de Catalunya, includes an extensive programme of screenings, talks with film editors Diana Toucedo, Ana Pfaff, Ariadna Ribas and Núria Esquerra, a roundtable with Nelly Quettier, Tere Font, Julia Juániz and Núria Esquerra and a masterclass with Molly Malene Stensgaard.
