SUMMARY:Stories of Resistance: Olivier Norek in Conversation with Andrey Kurkov
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a powerful evening of conversation between bestselling French author Olivier Norek and acclaimed Ukrainian writer Andrey Kurkov\, as they explore war\, resistance\, and the endurance of the human spirit through their latest works. \nIn The Winter Warriors\, Olivier Norek revives the icy silence of the Finnish forests during the Winter war of 1939—a forgotten front where rifles froze\, but not the will of a nation. Against all expectations\, Finland resisted the Soviet onslaught with nothing more than skis\, cunning\, and courage. At the heart of this stark and haunting narrative stands Simo Häyhä\, the legendary sniper known as the White Death\, who becomes a chilling symbol of one man’s ability to shift the tide of history. \nMeanwhile\, in Our Daily War\, Andrey Kurkov writes from today’s frontiers—not of history\, but of life itself. With piercing humanity and quiet defiance\, he documents the everyday surrealism of Ukraine under siege: children doing schoolwork in metro stations\, winemakers repurposing war detritus\, and soldiers scribbling messages of remembrance on their ammunitions. \nTogether\, these two authors offer a unique and moving reflection on what is means to resist. Across time and geography\, The Winter Warriors and Our Daily War speak to the same truth: when history tries to erase a people\, resistance becomes not just survival\, but identity. \nAs war redraws maps and tests identities\, Norek and Kurkov remind us that it is not always the grand strategies that shape destiny\, but the unbreakable thread of resilience—from the snows of Karelia to the skies above Kyiv.

SUMMARY:Voices for Freedom: An Evening with Oleksandra Matviichuk
DESCRIPTION:Join Oleksandra Matviichuk\, winner of the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize\, for a charity event supporting war-affected communities in Ukraine. \nOleksandra Matviichuk\, has been a major figure in the fight for Ukraine’s survival. And she has given a voice to the victims of the conflict : the Center for Civil Liberties\, which she runs\, has tirelessly recorded the mass atrocities committed by Russia\, the daily war crimes on the battlefield\, the harrowing treatment of captives and the illegal abduction and reprogramming of children to reject their native language and culture. \nAs the pressure mounts on Ukraine to accept a ceasefire on any terms\, her greatest fear is that a peace defined in narrow\, territorial terms will achieve nothing. A robust peace is one that is built on the premises that Russia will not stop seeking the destruction of Ukraine through other means. She will explain that beyond security guarantees\, peace cannot be achieved without justice for the victims\, without the return of captives and children and without reparations to rebuild Ukraine. \nOrganised for charitable purposes\, this event is being held in partnership with the Insulate Ukraine association\, an innovative initiative that works to rehabilitate homes damaged by the bombardments. Half of all ticket proceeds will support their efforts\, with a dedicated fundraiser also taking place during the evening.

SUMMARY:Intercepted
DESCRIPTION:In this extraordinary film\, Oksana Karpovycg juxtaposes extracts from thousands of intercepted phone calls Russian soldiers made from the battlefield in Ukraine to their families and friends in Russia with calm images of the destruction caused by the invasion and the day-to-day life of the Ukrainian people who resist and rebuild. The voices of the Russian soldiers—ranging from being filled with heroic illusions to complete disappointment and loss of reason\, from looting to committing more horrible war crimes\, from propaganda to doubt and disillusionment—expose the whole scope of the dehumanising power of war and imperialist nature of the Russian aggression.
