Intercepted by Oksana Karpovych
Ukraine | 2024 | Documentary | 95’
+ Panel discussion “Torn Worlds: Disinformation and the Challenge of Sources in the Russian War of Aggression against Ukraine”
In cooperation with Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung
“Intercepted” explores landscapes and mindscapes of war, showcasing two parallel worlds. It features serene images of destroyed Ukrainian villages after de-occupation, contrasting them with wiretapped phone conversations from 2022 between Russian soldiers and their families. We listen to fragments from an opressive audio archive of moral depravity and war crimes while watching images that bear witness to destruction, but also to liberation and resilience. Thus, “Intercepted” forces us to question our perception of images of war and challenges us to face evidence.

FESTIVAL OPENING: Fragments of Ice by Maria Stoianova
Ukraine, Norway | 2024 | Documentary | 95’
with Q&A after the screenings
Maria Stoianova's father was a figure skater with the Soviet-Ukrainian “Ballet on Ice”. In 1986, he bought a camera and began documenting his tours in the West and his family life. The director weaves the nostalgic footage and commentary into a fascinating film essay about the nature of memory and the ability of images to capture it.
