2023 | DCP | AUS | D: George Gittoes 

In the tradition of Picasso’s ‘Guernica’ and Jon and Yoko’s ‘War is Over’, this anti-war documentary from activist-filmmaker George Gittoes shines a spotlight on the creativity and resilience of frontline artists responding to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan.

Ukraine Guernica – Art Not War documents the transformation of destruction and tragedy into new works of art and powerful acts of community-building, including exhibitions and performances in the bombed and gutted House of Culture in Irpin, Ukraine, and projects completed at the Yellow House Art School in Jalalabad, Afghanistan.

One of Australia’s most uncompromising artists, Gittoes has previously addressed US gun violence (White Light), life during the war in Afghanistan (Snow Monkey) and the impact of war on music in Iraq (Soundtrack to War). Ukraine Guernica was created in collaboration with producer and musician Hellen Rose.

Join us after the film for a live Q&A via Zoom with director George Gittoes and producer-musician Hellen Rose.
