The film screening is part of the conference "City and War. Shelters, Infrastructures, Energies" at the TU Braunschweig (June 26 to 28).
The Oscar-winning documentary film „20 Days in Mariupol“ (90 minutes, English subtitles) will be screened June 26 at TU Braunschweig. It is until now the most important film recording the Russian siege and occupation of the Ukrainian city at the Black Sea coast. Professor Gelinada Grinchenko from Mykola-Haievoi-Zentrum für moderne Geschichte, until 2022 a professor at Kharkiv und Dnipro universities in Ukraine, will give comments after the screening, as well as two eye witnesses from Mariupol.
„20 Days in Mariupol“ was produced by AP journalist Mstyslav Chernov und cinematographer Evgeniy Maloletka. Both were in Mariupol in 2022, while the city was shelled by Russia’s army and air force over weeks, and eventually could save themselves and the recorded material. The film was awarded an Oscar as the best documentary (2024) and other prizes, and the authors, including Vasilisa Stepanenko, received the Pulitzer prize.
