RIGA IFF in cooperation with the Kyiv Critics’ Week film festival is organising a discussion series on the topic of colonialism in film and media with the participation of international experts. The first discussion on 19 October is dedicated to what we in Eastern Europe can do so that the media and its contents, especially outlets dedicated to culture and art, can be liberated from the logic of colonialism? Can cinema be considered a weapon of political and cultural diplomacy? How important is it to think about culture and art as political?
