We are starting the series of Tuesday’s screenings! In November we are looking forward to two short Ukrainian documentary films shot in the Czech Republic: Paradox and Three Months with Kira.

!! Both films are in Ukrainian language with English subtitles, the discussion will be in English as well.

Paradox
H.O.M.E. due to Wikipedia, it’s a building intended for living.
And what is home for you? Currently it is very difficult to pull yourself together and understand the real meaning of the word. Why did you think a year ago that home is where your people are? And now…
Now you don’t even understand where it is. Abroad is about uncertainty, about a constant feeling of guilt and an uncontrollable desire to return… But where? It’s like you’re stuck in the vertical, and you don’t know what’s going to happen next. And is it even possible to wish for something now? H.O.M.E. Four letters. One word. War. Thousands of confusing and incomprehensible emotions that you feel for the first time. The paradox is that you had to lose everything to find these four letters in yourself, and that it was the war that made it possible to understand the real values of this word.
The project was created by a team of ukrainian students who left the country due to the war, as a part of their studies at the the theater faculty of JAMU, Brno.

Three Months with Kira
The story in three lines unveils around 25 year old girl Kira who was affected by the Russian aggression towards Ukraine. The movie shows Kira’s family life with her husband Denis one day before the war, her life in a new country during the war, her thoughts, memories and reflections. Her fears are metaphorically shown in a surrealistic image of the bloody war. These scenes are inspired by Magitte’s paintings with heads wrapped in white and red cloth.
