Dear friend of Arkadia,

You are invited to the screening of The Ringing Forest of Chernobyl (2019) directed by Denis Tolstun and written by Alexander Medinsky on Wednesday 29.1 at 5pm at Arkadia (Nervanderinkatu 11)

The documentary tackles the current situation in the area of contamination. The forests around Chernobyl have been illegally logged for years. The documentary is based on the authors’ filming in the area which is regarded as forest reserves or rather exclusion zone. All logging there is officially banned due to the high level of contamination. However, despite all bans, logging is common in the exclusion area. The forested area is diminishing rapidly in size.

The authors attend the screening and  participate in the discussion.

The documentary is in Russian and subtitled in English.

Welcome!

Warm regards,

Ian
