Evi Kalogiropoulou's 'Gorgona' Blends Greek Myth with Punk Feminism

Greek director Evi Kalogiropoulou's film 'Gorgona' merges mythology with a dystopian future, reimagining the 'Mad Max' narrative through a punk and feminist lens. The revenge movie draws on the ancient Gorgon myth to critique contemporary patriarchy, set in a post-apocalyptic world where women fight back. Kalogiropoulou uses a gritty aesthetic and an all-female cast to subvert traditional power structures. The film premiered at the 2026 Locarno Film Festival, where it sparked discussions on feminist filmmaking and genre reinvention.
