Is there a concern that the escalation in the Middle East will push the war in Ukraine into the background? The question may seem terrible, but it is pressing. Shortly before the opening reception, Daria Buteiko, one of the organizers of the Ukrainian Film Festival, which runs until October 29th in Berlin, took the time for an interview. You are not in competition, Buteiko answers the question asked at the beginning. “Of course we notice that the Russian war of aggression is becoming less relevant in the media over time,” says Buteiko. Maybe at some point it will no longer be news at all because everything in this war seems to be repeating itself. “But we are fighting to ensure that it does not disappear from the general horizon of thought,” says Buteiko. “Civilians continue to die in Ukraine every day. That’s why it’s even more urgent to bring Ukrainian cinema to Berlin.” Daria Buteiko repeatedly speaks of task, responsibility, cultural front, cultural resistance. Words that you will also hear in the conversations and discussions of the evening.
