\nAt approximately 10.00am on 16 March 2022, the Russian military conducted an airstrike on the Donetsk Academic Regional Drama Theatre in Mariupol, killing over 600 innocent civilians <\/span><\/span>who were <\/span><\/span>sheltering in the basement, including several children. The word \u2018Children\u2019 (<\/span><\/span>\u0414\u0435\u0442\u0438<\/span><\/span>) had been<\/span><\/span> clearly<\/span><\/span> drawn in Russian on the ground <\/span><\/span>outside<\/span><\/span> the <\/span><\/span>theatre <\/span><\/span>building<\/span><\/span>. The destruction of the Donetsk Academic Regional Drama Theatre <\/span><\/span>has been<\/span><\/span> classed as a war crime by the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe and Amnesty International.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Six months on from this atrocity, the <\/span><\/span>Visual Culture Research Center, Kyiv, the<\/span><\/span> Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw,<\/span><\/span> the <\/span><\/span>Stedelijk<\/span><\/span> Museum, Amsterdam, and the <\/span><\/span>Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh, <\/span><\/span>present the film\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Mariupolonaise<\/span><\/span> (2022; Dur. 12min) by Scottish artists, Ross <\/span><\/span>Birrell<\/span><\/span>. The <\/span><\/span>moving-<\/span><\/span>image<\/span><\/span> and sound work is<\/span><\/span> based upon recordings of the <\/span><\/span>Ukrainian pianist Anna <\/span><\/span>Fedorova\u2019s<\/span><\/span> recitals at <\/span><\/span>the Fryderyk Chopin Institute in Warsaw in 2010<\/span><\/span>. The work is made in response to the emotional impact of <\/span><\/span>Fedorova\u2019s\u00a0<\/span><\/span>original performance and seeks to explore how the intensity of music and the moving-image might resonate with conditions endured in a time of war<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. <\/span><\/span>T<\/span><\/span>he film is dedicated <\/span><\/span>to the<\/span><\/span>600 victims of the Russian airstrike on the Donetsk Academic Regional Drama Theatre in Mariupol, an atrocity which was met with <\/span><\/span>shock and <\/span><\/span>condemnation <\/span><\/span>across<\/span><\/span> the <\/span><\/span>world<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The film will be screened online <\/span><\/span>from<\/span><\/span> 10.00am local time <\/span><\/span>by\u00a0<\/span><\/span>each collaborating <\/span><\/span>institution<\/span><\/span> on Friday 16 September<\/span><\/span> 2022<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
