ORF–Long Night of Museums

ORF–The Long Night Of Museums

LET'S CEE is going to be the first film festival to be a part of ORF – the Long Night of Museums. On October 3rd 2015, the Russian documentary Museum "Revolution", will be shown four times in succession from 7pm in the Middle Hall of the Vienna Urania. Questions from the audience will be answered by guests connected with the film’s production. Exhibits in the foyer will provide reminders of the days of upheaval in Kiev’s Maidan Square, and turn the Urania into a museum for the night. Unique, unusual and well worth seeing.

Discussion meeting - University of Vienna
The Maidan movement in the Russian-Ukrainian dialogue

Ukraine has been in the headlines since November 2013. After the internationally well-known protests in Maidan Square, the Ukrainian territory of Crimea was annexed and a conflict in the east of the country broke out. The ongoing fighting in the self-proclaimed People's Republic of Donetsk and Lugansk, with thousands of people killed, has made a differentiated review of the Maidan movement difficult. What objectives were formulated on the Maidan, and which of them could actually be fulfilled? How did Ukraine react to the Maidan events, and how did Russia react? To what extent have the Maidan protests changed the national consciousness in Ukraine?

 The event will take place on Friday, October 2nd in auditorium 1, in the New Institute Building, Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Vienna at 4.00pm, and is part of the LET'S CEE Film Festival, in collaboration with the Institute of Political Science of the University of Vienna. Excerpts from the Russian documentary Museum “Revolution“ will be shown, before Russian and Ukrainian filmmakers and artists discuss individual viewpoints with University Professor Dr. Dieter Segert (Institute of Political Science). They will also answer questions from the audience. The event will be moderated by Tobias Spöri (Institute of Political Science). The discussion will be held in English.
