Porcelain War Screening
Dec

Porcelain War Screening

Join us for a screening of the Porcelain War documentary plus a Q&A session with two of the main characters, Slava and Anya.

Note: An additional show time starting 6:45pm has been added this day, to accommodate the high demand for the 7:!5pm show. Other show times are available through the week from Friday 12/6 to Wednesday 12/11

Amidst the chaos and destruction of the brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine, three artists defiantly find inspiration and beauty as they defend their culture and their country. In a war waged by professional soldiers against ordinary civilians, Slava Leontyev, Anya Stasenko, and Andrey Stefanov choose to stay behind, armed with their art, their cameras, and, for the first time in their lives, their guns. Despite daily shelling, Anya finds resistance and purpose in her art, Andrey takes the dangerous journey to get his young family to safety abroad, and Slava becomes a weapons instructor for ordinary people who have become unlikely soldiers. As the war intensifies, Andrey picks up his camera to film their story, and on tiny porcelain figurines, Anya and Slava capture their idyllic past, uncertain present, and hope for the future.”
