Cinemare präsentiert: The day Iceland stood still (USA 2024 I 71 Min.) Regie: Pamela Hogan USA 2024 I 71 Min.)

In the organizer's words:

One fall morning in 1975, 90 percent of Iceland's women walked out of their homes, refusing to continue working, cooking and taking care of the children. It was a day that brought the country to a standstill and turned it into "the best place in the world to be a woman". In this movie, the women talk about it. Accompanied by playful animation and music by Björk, their stories are subversive and unexpectedly funny.

When 90% of the women of Iceland walked off the job and out of their homes one fall morning in 1975, refusing to work, cook, or take care of the children, they brought their country to a standstill and catapulted Iceland to the "best place in the world to be a woman." Told for the first time by the women themselves, laced with playful animation and music from Björk, the story is subversive and unexpectedly funny.
