Catched: Peace film award for moving testimony from Ukraine!

Last Saturday the Osnabrück Peace Film Award was awarded to the Ukrainian director Oksana Karpovych for her film "Intercepted". This special prize, which Dieter-Fuchs Foundation is donated and endowed with 15,000 euros, rewardes works that throw a light on peace and address the destructive effects of conflicts.

"Intercepted", a co -production from Canada, France and Ukraine, is an urgent portrait of the human consequences of the Ukraine decline. The film is characterized by its unique approach by presenting warlike events through calm, urgent pictures. While these pictures can be seen, telephone calls are shown by Russian soldiers who have been listened to and recorded. These recordings reveal sobering confessions about atrocities and doubts of the soldiers about the meaningfulness of the war.

Award for reporting on the war

The jury's reasoning emphasizes how Karpovych's work provides a unique insight into the complexity of people who are directly affected by the invasion and the war. The film is compared to the broken window panes of war zones that symbolically stand for the disruption and suffering of the affected civilian population. This metaphor not only illustrates the destruction of the infrastructure, but also the inner conflicts and pain of people in times of crisis.

The honor of Oksana Karpovych is not only an recognition of her artistic work, but also an important sign of solidarity with the people in Ukraine who suffer from the consequences of the war. At a time when news about conflicts are often shaped by sensationalism, "Intercepted" offers a calm but urgent view of the reality of the war, and that also attracts the interest and sympathy of the audience.

The award takes place in a context in which many artists and filmmakers try to promote security, peace and reconciliation through their work. Art has the strength to open dialogues and to raise awareness of the humanitarian crises.

"Intercepted" was seen at the Osnabrück film festival, which offers platforms for films that deal with topics of social relevance. These film festivals encourage filmmakers to tell stories that not only entertain, but also stimulate thought and create awareness of global challenges.

The award is not only a personal achievement for Oksana Karpovych, but is also an integral part of a greater discourse on peace and human suffering, which is initiated by art. Karpovych's film makes a decisive contribution to bringing these topics into the light of the public and is therefore of great importance for understanding the current situation in Ukraine.
