after the screening of BODIES (OF WAR), dir. Małgorzata Szumowska, Michał Englert
In a rehabilitation center for war veterans in Lviv, young Ukrainian soldiers who lost arms, legs, and other parts of their bodies during the war fight to regain both physical and psychological strength. Members of Open Group, a Ukrainian contemporary art collective confront the war through their artistic practice. Beyond Ukraine, Dana, a transgender dancer and artist, wants to live and build her life in Poland. Through these intertwined stories, “Bodies (of War)” portrays the fragility and resilience of lives reshaped by a conflict that leaves its mark on every body in different ways.
