HRHW Kick-off 2016
Cinemateket i Oslo, Tuesday February 16th, kl. 19:45

Making sense of war and peace:
Propaganda and reality in Ukraine

Debate and film
Film: The Near Far East


Presented by:
THE NORWEGIAN HELSINKI COMMITTEE AND WITNESS

How to separate real news from lies?

Before the screening of the film The Near Far East, The Norwegian Helsinki Committee invites you to participate in a panel discussion about issues such as truth and propaganda during the conflict and the difficult role of the media.

It has been a while since Ukraine made the international headlines – the days of the Euromaidan demonstrations and the bloody battles of Donetsk airport or Debaltseve are over. Now Ukraine strives the best it can amidst economic crisis, opportunist politics and an ongoing conflict. Propaganda creates completely opposite versions of reality. How do we separate real news from lies?

The Near Far East
Filip Remunda, Czech Republic 2015, 70 min.

About the film:
The Near Far East

This film about the situation in present day war-torn Ukraine was made over the course of one year as filmmaker Filip Remunda's travel journal. He goes to Transcarpathia, Kiev and to occupied Donetsk, seeking to understand how people relate to living in a divided country. The result is a heartfelt travel journal which gives a sincere portrait of Ukraine and its people.

What is it like to live in a society divided by the war? What do ordinary Ukrainians believe, think and feel about the recent events? And how do they relate to the propaganda that distorts the perception of what is really going on?
