About this Event

Chornobyl Cinema: From Atomohrad Utopia to Contaminated Ruin: a presentation by Stanislav Menzelevskyi


Focusing on films produced between 1972 and 1996, this presentation will examine how Chornobyl cinema navigated ideological constraints, perestroika transformations, and the post-Soviet transition. It analyzes how nuclear modernity was represented in Soviet cinema before 1986 and reworked in its aftermath.
