Preview presentation of Branded, an arthouse film, in support of Ukrainian charities with an introduction by Pauline Amos.
The film will be followed by ‘in conversation’ with Pauline Amos and Lucy Turner
‘Branded’ ЗАТАВРОВАНА is an artist’s defiance, in the face of atrocity, to uphold Art and Freedom.
Horrifying in its depiction of the persecution of artists in repressive regimes, the struggle of being confined as a prisoner of war, is contrasted with the beauty of art and with a joyousness at its heart.
Pauline Amos performs, with the voice of Kateryna Polishchuk, a Ukrainian soldier who was captured and held by the Russian army in Mariupol.
The film has a powerful message that resonates with Ukraine and around the world:
Artistic expression is not a luxury, but a necessity.
We fight For Freedom and Art is our Voice.
Ukranian with subtitles & please note that this film contains a 30 second scene containing flashing lights.
