This program includes films spanning the period from the run-up to the Maidan uprising in Ukraine in 2013–14, to the full-scale Russian invasion of 2022. In various ways, these films explore the implicit mechanisms of violence, oppression and domination intrinsic to everyday life in modern society where elements of warfare have permeated all aspects of everyday, ‘peaceful’ life. Those include the mechanisms of class war and ecological devastation (Labor Safety in the Region of Dnipropetrovsk), gendered forms of oppression (Technical Break, Sisters), ‘soft power’ of the art institutions complicit with neo-colonialism (Incident in the Museum), and the psychological violence of mediatized warfare (Letter to a Turtledove).
