Vira Karpinska: Documentary cinema and DOCU/CLUB in Ukraine during war Dispatches From the Quiet Centre, Centre for Art and Politics

Join what promises to be a fascinating online talk with Vira Karpinska, a member of the DOCU/CLUB initiative in Ukraine, who will speak about the role of making and watching documentaries in precarious times and spaces, the role of cinema in community developments, and the challenges and aspirations of independent documentary movements in Ukraine.

Discussion will consist of a 15-minute talk followed by a brief discussion and a question and answer (Q&A) session. The dispatches will be moderated by Dr Jeffrey Murer of the Centre for Arts and Politics and Viktoriia Grivina, a St Andrews PhD student and author from the Quiet Centre residency. The aim of the dispatches is to open a window, a time-and-space portal between St Andrews and Kharkiv, pondering the connections, policies of knowledge production, and communities of the places.

The registration link will be available before the event. In the meantime, email Viktoriia at [email protected] if you would like to attend.
