Thus, members of minorities claim their space as content creators. Various organizations have indicated that if more women are directing films, there will be more films starring women. However, there is no scientific evidence. This study wants to check if there is a direct relation between the director’s gender and the characters. The purpose of this paper is to study the representation of gender in Spanish films through the relationship between the representation of female/male characters and the gender of directors. A content analysis was conducted on 30 Spanish films from 2018 and 2019, including 468 characters (n = 468). It is concluded that there is no significant statistical relationship between underrepresentation and the gender of directors; there is still an underrepresentation of female characters. In addition, no significant statistical association was found between the gender of the director and the character’s occupation or personal vs. work objectives. However, in the works of male directors, the frequency of dialogues between female and male characters is significantly higher than in films of female directors. 2023 artículo científico 1856-9536 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=511578935008 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5115/511578935008/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5115/511578935008/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5115/511578935008/511578935008.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5115/511578935008/movil 10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/disertaciones/a.12619 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5115 Anuario Electrónico de Estudios en Comunicación Social "Disertaciones" application/pdf Universidad del Rosario Anuario Electrónico de Estudios en Comunicación Social "Disertaciones" (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.16
