SCREENINGS

In cooperation with ARTE

Mariupol-born filmmaker Svitlana's film highlights the experiences of four generations of women, including her own, and shows how Moscow's imperial policies have affected their national identity. Each generation in her family became increasingly Russified. Russia's attack on Ukraine shatters this part of their identities and forces them to find new paths. Svitlana's daughter flees to London, while her mother quietly says goodbye to the Soviet-Russian past. Svitlana herself questions the colonized part of her consciousness.
