Eastern Europe in the mirror of film | Shades of the past
16 to 30 March 2025
The Cinema Ost film festival has come to an end and, with its films from Ukraine, Latvia, Georgia and Russia, opened a window to the hitherto little-known cultures of these countries and their history.
The opening with “The Master and Margarita” was a complete success with a sold-out house and an exciting online film talk with August Diehl Max Neumann
The visit to Münster by Ukrainian author and filmmaker Iryna Tsilyk was particularly impressive and moving. With her documentary film “The earth is blue like an orange” and a reading from her poetry collection “Thin ice”, she spoke vividly about the horrors of everyday life during the war in Ukraine, but also about the resilience of the people living there.
