Ein Tag ohne Frauen

In the organizer's words:

What if every woman just took a day off...

When 90 percent of Icelandic women walked off the job one fall morning in 1975 and left their homes because they refused 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".

Narrated for the first time by the women themselves and featuring playful animation, A DAY WITHOUT WOMEN is subversive and unexpectedly funny. "We loved our chauvinistic pigs," recalls one of the activists, "we just wanted to change them a little!" In keeping with the 50th anniversary of the strike in the fall of 2025, the documentary's message about the collective power of women to change their society encourages us to rethink what is possible.

To get in the mood for the film, a FLINTA* market will take place from 6 p.m., where a program with live DJing, art, playful offers, biographical material, information stands and much more will allow people to get to know groups and associations that are active in queer feminism in Oldenburg and to exchange ideas.

Part of the summer open-air cinema program of Cine k, which takes place at nightfall on the Kulturplatz behind the Kulturetage.
