Actress Salma Hayek closed the Women of the World Festival at London's Southbank Center Sunday with an empowering speech about women and her new film The Prophet.
Hayek, 48, produced the animated feature based in Kahlil Gibran's poetry essays. The film is divided in chapters in which each poem is represented by a different animation.
"It's a unique film experience, a childish story that takes you on a journey -- a journey inside yourself," she said, according to Variety.
"I only do impossible films," added Hayek said, later stating that her "potential is limitless and nothing can stop me."
Ahead of the exclusive screening of her film, Hayek said the world "has been created by systems designed for men," and encouraged women to fight to break down the barriers.
The Prophet premiered in France in May 2014.
Hayek's production credits include Frida and television's Ugly Betty.
