The Representation of the War in Ukraine in Documentaries and Social Media MASTERCLASS & PANEL

DocPro

Since its outbreak in 2022, the war in Ukraine has become one of the most visually documented events of our time. This masterclass explores the recurring motifs and visual characteristics of contemporary documentaries about the war, focusing especially on citizen witnessing — how civilians who record and share images online become active participants in documenting conflict. The discussion also examines how filmmakers integrate these fragmented, internet-based images into broader historical and narrative contexts.
