Headfirst Editor's Pick
"“If the world saw everything in Mariupol, it would give at least some meaning to this horror.” It’s almost 2 years since Russian forces invaded and the mainstream media has moved on, but Mstyslav Chernov does not want you to forget. This is gut-wrenching, vital viewing; surely one of the most important on-the-ground war documentaries of the 21st century?"

A event held at The Cube on Monday 15th January. The event starts at 20:00.
Dir: Mstyslav Chernov, 2023, Ukraine, 93 mins, Cert 18
When journalist Mstyslav Chernov became trapped in the port city of Mariupol during the siege by Russian armed forces, he and his colleagues chose to continue documenting the conflict at first hand, despite the many dangers they faced. The resulting film is an unflinching and matter-of-fact account of life-during-wartime as viewed from the front line. Bleak but essential viewing, Chernov's visceral documentary offers an immersive view of conflict that few filmmakers have achieved...or would ever want to.
20 Days in Mariupol is a timely reminder that the conflict in Ukraine is still ongoing, despite its having largely drifted out of the main focus of media attention in recent months - in February the Cube will mark the second anniversary of the conflict with a short season of classic Ukraininan films.
Entry requirements: 18+
