US Premiere
Documentary Feature | Iceland/USA | 2024 | Icelandic/English | 71 minutes
In October 1975, the women of Iceland brought their country to a standstill, refusing to work, cook, or care for their children. Frustrated by unequal wages and labor conditions, they came together as a collective, demanding recognition and a better future. As we near the strike’s 50th anniversary, Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Pamela Hogan shines a spotlight on this unprecedented act of civil disobedience, one that transformed Icelandic society and made it the “best place in the world to be a woman.” THE DAY ICELAND STOOD STILL blends playful animation with witty recollections from the movement’s activists, challenging us all to continue fighting for a truly equal world.
Scheduled to attend on 10/9: Pamela Hogan (director), Hrafnhildur Gunnarsdóttir (producer)
