Dr. Bihun is a highly decorated Ukrainian filmmaker with a human rights focus (as of 2024, second in the world by the number of nominations, winning more than 100 awards). He is in contact with the main protagonist of the film, Yuriy Yatsenko. You are warmly invited and encouraged to write any questions you have for Mr. Yatsenko or Mr. Bihun to: [email protected]. We will gladly forward them before the Talk.
Awareness: The filmmaker is committing a huge chunk of his leisure time and energy to promote dialogue and a collaborative approach also in his voluntary work. So, please be mindful and if possible, inform yourself a bit before the event about his work. EUS and PACS are a tolerant and open-minded study program. We, the Student Council of Peace and Conflict Studies strive to create an environment, where you can feel comfortable. Our ideal is to share knowledge within a safe space, open for dialogue, learning and healing. So, if you feel uncomfortable at any moment, please approach us. And in simple terms: Be nice and respectful, look after each other and have fun!
