Following yesterday’s screenings of Easter by Ksenia Yurkova and Kingdom of Animals by Thadeusz Tischbein, we are very happy to continue the discussion with both artists today.
In Easter, Ksenia Yurkova reflects on contemporary Russia through a personal and family perspective, combining archival footage and newly created images. The film explores memory, propaganda, identity, and the contradictions of history, focusing on the impact of war and ideology on individuals and families.
In Kingdom of Animals, Thadeusz Tischbein takes us on a journey through Germany’s monumental landscapes and national symbols, where history, myths, legends, and animals unexpectedly meet. The film offers a poetic and often humorous reflection on national identity and the stories nations tell about themselves.
For us, the festival is not only about watching films, but also about creating opportunities to meet artists, exchange ideas, and explore different ways of seeing the world through moving images.
Thank you all for being here.
