The embassies of Germany, Poland, and Ukraine in Cairo organized a cinema evening in which they showed the documentary film “Art in War,” which depicts the deep relationships between war and the arts, in light of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
After the showing of the German-Ukrainian film “Art in War”, there was a dialogue between the German director Philipp Kohlhofer and the Ukrainian producer Katerina Laskari, and the program included an exhibition by the German-Ukrainian artist Natalia Spieler.
On this occasion, the Ukrainian Ambassador to Cairo, Mykola Nahorny, highlighted the devastating impact of war on all aspects of life, especially art and culture.
Nahorny stressed the important role of Ukrainian artists who not only support the front lines, but have also joined the armed forces themselves.
He said: There is no doubt that Russia’s war against Ukraine, like any other armed conflict, casts a dark shadow on all aspects of life, including art and culture.
The film “Art in War” depicts the deep relationships between war and the arts, in light of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
“Art in War” is produced by BROADVIEW Pictures and SPACE Production and organized by Ukrainian producers, in cooperation with ARTE.
