ABSTRACT
This chapter draws together the central arguments of this book, summarise its key findings, and suggests areas for future research that arise from the results this book presents. The most obvious finding is that the film legislation enacted between 1980 and 2010 has not solved the structural gender inequalities that dominate the Spanish film industry. This have been so because during the 1980s and 1990s, gender inequality was so invisible that not even a topic for discussion in the field of Spanish cinema; when it did indeed become to be discussed once CIMA, the Women's Filmmakers and Audiovisual Professionals Association, gained enough power within the field for their demands to be heard, the first affirmative action law that emerged, the Law 55/2007, proved not to be the expected instrument to end the structural gender inequality that dominates the Spanish film industry.
