About event
We invite you to the screening of two short documentary films from Ukraine, which were created in cooperation with the Memory of the Nation branch in Lviv. The documentaries focus on the stories of Ukrainian women and ethnic communities.
Since 2014: women's stories about Kramatorsk
"We thought the worst was over..."
Four different women - from different backgrounds, different ages, professions and social status - tell about the city and the experience that unites them - about the occupation and liberation of Kramatorsk in 2014. What that's when your national flag becomes a forbidden color combination?
After a short-term occupation in 2014, Kramatorsk became the center of the Donetsk region, an active center for business, volunteerism and military assistance. The city grew and flourished, although it has since found itself in the front zone. Our documentary story tells through the voices of the women of Kramator about how everything changed irreversibly from the year 14 - for them personally and for the whole country - and how their daily work contributes to the victory in a war that has lasted for more than ten years.
Rooting: National Communities and Indigenous Peoples of Ukraine
My parents always said: “There are only two nationalities — a good person and a bad person”
How they actually lived "national minorities" in Soviet times? Did they learn the language of their community? What was it like for Crimean Tatars who grew up in deportation to return to their native Crimea? Did national communities experience a revival after Ukraine regained its independence in 1991? What is patriotism from the point of view of Ukrainian Hungarians, Bulgarians, Jews or Crimean Tatars? From fifteen oral-history interviews with representatives of ten different nationalities, the PBU team selected the most interesting stories from different parts of Ukraine — Transcarpathia, Bessarabia, Odessa, Crimea and Lviv — to tell how wide Ukraine's ethnic diversity is and how important it is to win the war with Russia for a common future and further development of all national communities in Ukraine.
Each film is followed by a discussion with creators.
Free entry. FF UK building, room 325
