Publikované 9/5/2022

Partnerský oznam

(info v angličtine nižšie / English below)

Freefilmers sú ukrajinským kolektívom filmárov*ok a umelcov*kýň z Mariupoľa: Posledných päť rokov pracujú s témami urbanistických premien na východnej Ukrajine a jej multikultúrneho vyžarovania. Skúmali aj tvorivosť robotníckej triedy a priemyselnú minulosť a súčasnosť postsocialistických miest. Ich súčasné projekty sa zameriavajú na spomienky a archívy nad rámec oficiálnych historických naratívov a rodového násilia v patriarchálnej kapitalistickej spoločnosti. Vždy  sa držali antikapitalistickej agendy a intersekcionálneho feminizmu a ich cieľom bolo vytvoriť inú formu filmovej tvorby, založenú na spolupráci a etickom prístupe.

V utorok 10. mája o 20.00 sa v Kine inak A4 bude premietať prvý blok, ktorý je výberom z filmografie kolektívu. Všetky filmy budú premietané v originálnom ukrajinskom znení s anglickými titulkami. 

Dobrovoľné vstupné bude v plnej výške venované kolektívu Freefilmers, ktorý v súčasnosti zabezpečuje podporu undergroundových umelcov*kýň, queer aktivistov*tiek a neurodivergentných ľudí postihnutých vojnou na horizontálnom základe vzájomnej pomoci: nepodporujú len vlastnú komunitu, ale aj ľudí okolo seba, nemocnice a dobrovoľnícke centrá a zabezpečujú prepravu humanitárnej pomoci, základných vecí, zdravotníckeho materiálu a vybavenia do regiónov najviac postihnutých vojnou a odvoz utečencov*kýň späť na bezpečnejšie miesta.

Lístky si môžete kúpiť online https://goout.net/sk/freefilmers-ukraine-vol-i/szluoht/ alebo na mieste.

Voluntary entry fee will be donated in full amount to the Freefilmers collective, who are providing support for underground artist, queer activist, neurodivergent people affected by war on a horizontal basis of mutual aid; supporting not only for our own community, but the people around us, hospitals and volunteer centres and transporting humanitarian aid, essentials, medical supplies and equipment to the regions most affected by war and taking refugees back to safer places.

# Who we are

Freefilmers is a collective of filmmakers and artists, originally from Mariupol, Ukraine. For the past five years, we have been working with topics of urban transformations in East Ukraine and its multicultural vibes. We have also researched the working-class creativity and industrial past and present of post-socialist cities. Our current projects focus on memories and archives beyond official historical narratives and gender violence in patriarchal capitalist society. We have always stuck to an anti-capitalist agenda and intersectional feminism, and our goal was to create a different form of filmmaking, based on cooperation and an ethical approach.

On 24 February, Russia started a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The cities where we used to work are now bombed and shelled on a daily basis. Many of us have lost our homes and tools of work. And we are still out of touch with many members of artistic communities in the Eastern Ukraine, because there is no cell network in the areas destroyed by the Russian army. It is true that the loss of human life is enormous, and as of 20 March 2022 almost 3,000 civilian deaths have been confirmed only in the city of Mariupol, which has been besieged by the Russian army since the beginning of the month. So currently the most important sequence on our timeline is not about movies, but about building a network of solidarity and support for Ukrainians who are suffering from and fighting against Russian imperialist aggression.

Now the Freefilmers are based in different parts of the world, but we are working together on recreating our home and making the whole planet a place free of violence and aggression. This should be the last imperialist colonial war. Ukraine happens to be at its centre, but it concerns every single person on the planet whose values are freedom and equality.

We don’t need  producers and directors from the Global North to come to Ukraine now and hire us as fixers for their revealing feature-length movies about the war. We don’t want our stories to be re-told to the whole world while we are struggling to protect our basic rights.

Help us to survive, and we will make our own films about what we have had to live through.
