Filmmaker Anik Salas travels to Scandinavian societies – world leaders in gender equality – to understand the key to their success. Part investigation, part manifesto, her documentary reveals one essential truth: change does not happen by magic, but through political will and concrete strategies. An urgent, fiercely committed film that refuses to postpone equality to another century.
Anik Salas
Passionate and versatile, Anik Salas practices her art from scriptwriting to editing. Whether fiction or documentary, for her, directing is about taking a stand. Her first short film, La guerre des bleuets (2005), won a Gold Remi Award, was released theatrically in Quebec, and at festivals in Europe and the United States. After many short films, she is now presenting her first feature-length documentary, The Scandinavian Method (2026).
