La decisi n se ha mostrado acertada, ya que se han registrado un total de 2.321 audiovisuales from 70 pa ses. La muestra, con un relevante porcentaje de obras propuestas por mujeres (715), incluye 312 largometrajes de ficci n inscritos (125 netamente espa oles o coproducciones y 187 latinoamericanos), de las cuales se han seleccionado 31 (23 en Secci n oficial y 8 en ZonaZine); 913 cortometrajes de ficci n y animaci n inscritos, de los que se han seleccionado 53 (34 en Secci n oficial y 19 en Cortos M laga); 748 documentales inscritos, de los que se han seleccionado 45, y 287 inscritos en Affirming womens rights, de los que se han seleccionado 16.

Series and new narratives Por su parte, la secci n Malaga Premiere acoger el estreno de cuatro series.
