Join us on October 7 for the opening lecture of HURI's 3-part Petro Jacyk Seminar series. Yuliya V. Ladygina argues that cinema has become an expanded battlefield beyond combat. Through Maryna Er Gorbach’s Klondike (2022), she will show how centering a pregnant heroine's embodied experience reveals unseen violence and resistance, expanding the war genre and shaping international understanding of the conflict.
