                      "God Exists, Her Name is Petrunya" by Teona Strugar Mitevska (2019, 100min, North Macedonia/Belgium/Slovenia/Croatia/France) / VO Macedonian with Greek subtitles

                      In a small town, somewhere in North Macedonia, Petrunya is a single unemployed historian who lives with her parents. Returning home from a failed job interview in a factory, she witnesses the Epiphany ceremony. The sanctification of the waters is one of the most important moments for the community, as it is believed that the person who catches the cross will be blessed with good luck. She decides to jump into the icy waters.
                      The interruption of this all-male Orthodox Christian ceremony will result in a struggle against patriarchal stereotypes and conservative morals. The director, Teona Strugar Mitevska, uses real life events to make a good-humored story on feminist resistance.

                      Teona Strugar Mitevska (1974, Skopje) made her debut as short film director in 2001 with Veta (Special Jury Prize at Berlin Film Festival 2002). Since then she had directed many documentary and feature movies, produced by her family run company, Sister and brother Mitevski Production : How I Killed a Saint, 2004 (Rotterdam Film Festival, Tiger Awards), I am From Titov Veles, 2007 (premiered at Toronto Film festival-Discovery Section, presented at Berlin Film Festival-Panorama and Cannes film festival-ACID), The Woman Who Brushed Off Her Tears, 2012 (premiered at Berlin Film-Panorama Special), and When The Day Had No Name, 2017 (premiered at Berlin Film Festival-Panorama Special).
                      Her fourth feature film God Exists, Her Name Is Petrunya premiered in the Competition section of the 2019 Berlin International Film Festival was awarded the Ecumenical Prize, as well at the German Guild Film Prize. Until today the film has received more than 20 awards all around the world and was sold for theatrical release to over 40 territories world-wide.

                      The film is introduced by Fotini Gouseti, visual artist and PhD candidate in anthropology.
