Interdisciplinary art programme of the 20th Docudays UA emphasises the main precondition of the future: working on our trauma and on the unspeakable. Focusing on fragments of personal perception of the shared experience: archives, memories, diaries, testimonies, and dreams.
The DOCU/CLASS workshop of the 20th Docudays UA offers public discussions with film professionals and cultural managers about building and protecting the future.
As a part of the RIGHTS NOW! programme, the Archive team had prepared discussions about the practice of testimonies at the International Criminal Court and the recognition of the Russian Federation’s crimes in Ukraine as a genocide.
DOCU/PRO of the 20th Docudays UA presented a series of lectures and roundtables by leading international and Ukrainian professionals who shared their experience in the processes of project development, distribution and sales, and promotional campaigns.
The human rights events of the 20th Docudays UA are unified by the image of the future, part of which is recovery after our victory.
