Girls don‘t Cry | Junges Filmfestival Köln / Cinepänz 2025

In the organizer's words:

recommended for ages 14 and up

Germany | 2025 | documentary | 91' | Sigrid Klausmann, Lina Luzyte | German | FSK 12

In their documentary Girls don't cry, directors Sigrid Klausmann and Lina Luzyte accompany girls from all over the world in their everyday lives and tell impressive stories of courage, self-determination and strength. A film that brings female empowerment to the movies in an authentic and touching way.

Nancy, Sheelan, Sinai, Paige, Selenna and Nina live in very different places - in Tanzania, Germany, Chile, the USA and Iraq. What they have in common: They are teenagers fighting against social constraints, family expectations and sometimes life-threatening circumstances. Their common desire is to live a self-determined and safe life in freedom. The film is a moving plea for a future in which girls worldwide have the same opportunities. Powerful, honest and inspiring: real girl power.
