The Collective for the Respect of Human Rights is organizing a screening of the film “First Lessons”, on Tuesday, April 7th at the Le Relief cinema in Séléstat.
It is a poignant Ukrainian documentary in which the war is seen through the eyes of children.
With “First Lessons”, Kateryna Gornostai delivers a documentary of rare intensity.
By filming the school as a fragile space of resistance, she captures the constant tension between childlike innocence and the noise of war. Each shot reveals a poignant dignity of teachers who continue the class no matter what.
With the association Colmar Ukraine, the dedication to the director’s brother gives an intimate depth to this collective testimony. More than a film on Ukraine, it is a universal ode to education as the last bulwark against war.
The discussion will be led by representatives from the association Colmar Ukraine. Due to the length of the documentary (2 hours 5 minutes), it has been decided to start the screening at 8:00 pm instead of 8:30 pm as usual.
Event: Screening of the film “First Lessons” on Tuesday, April 7th at 8:00 pm at Le Relief cinema, Route de Strasbourg, Séléstat.
