Cultural cinema Kaimt-"Girls & Gods"

Can feminism and religion coexist? Girls & Gods is a fearless journey led by Inna Shevchenko, the author and initiator of the project, to answer just that question. Shevchenko, who once became known as the leader of the topless protests by FEMEN against patriarchal power structures, is now exchanging protest for dialogue by inviting priestesses, imams, rabbis, theologians, and other activists for open discussions. Together, they address the gap between women's rights and religious traditions and ask whether ancient religions can accept gender equality and whether feminism can find a place in sacred halls. Directed by Arash T. Riahi and Verena Soltiz, Girls & Gods is more than a visually stunning film – it is an artistic narrative that challenges long-standing traditions and hierarchies. The directors weave a captivating and provocative journey that invites the audience to re-examine sacred iconography through a feminist lens and transform symbols of faith into powerful visions of female emancipation. The result is an accessible yet provocative documentary that invites viewers to witness a change – a change that could redefine the relationship between faith and feminism.
