Join us for a special screening of The Earth is Blue as an Orange followed by a panel discussion with representatives of the Association of Ukrainians in GB, East Sussex branch.
Exquisitely shot and bold in its approach, director Iryna Tsilyk’s documentary follows single mother Anna and her four children as they document their lives under siege in Donbass, Ukraine.
Questioning the power of cinema and the magical world it helps create during times of disaster, this exceptional documentary, winner of the World Cinema Documentary Award in Sundance, observes, with miraculous insight, a family - and a filmmaker - cope with war using their cameras, working in tandem to create meaning out of a meaningless conflict as the ultimate way to stay human.
The event is organised by The Association of Ukrainians in GB, East Sussex branch and The Electric Palace. Part of Refugee Week 2022.
FREE ENTRY, but please reserve your free ticket, or on the day it's first come first served.
