SCREENINGS
AT THE THÉÂTRE ANTIQUE
In the Photo Slam, a New Generation frame, a part of the show focuses on Ukraine’s contemporary photography scene with young artists talking about their commitments and challenges since Russia invaded their country.
With:
OLIVIER SARRAZIN
Olivier Sarrazin has spent many years documenting the political situation on his trips to Russia and Ukraine.
MARIE CASTAGNOLA
Intimate correspondence between the photographer and her Ukrainian friends suffering in the war.
ELENA SUBACH
The photographer, who stayed at home in Lviv, presents two series, one created in peacetime, the other, more photojournalistic, showing how art works are protected from bombing.
MAXIM DONDYUK
Maxim Dondyuk chronicles the Ukrainian people’s long battle for freedom, independence and national identity. He has documented three turning points in the history of his country, where two visions for the same territory always clash. One is steeped in nostalgia for the Soviet Union, the other aspires to be an independent European country.
