Holofiction to Open the RESEARCH SPACE Film Club Programme at the Living Memory Exhibition Centre

On 10 July at 7:00 pm, the National Historical and Memorial Reserve "Babyn Yar" will launch the Film Club programme within its public project RESEARCH SPACE with a screening of Holofiction.

The Film Club programme brings together recent documentary films that explore questions of memory, responsibility and the Holocaust through contemporary cinematic approaches.

The opening screening will feature Holofiction, which premiered at the 2025 Venice Film Festival. The event is organised in partnership with the Goethe-Institut Ukraine.

In Holofiction, director Michal Kosakowski assembles fragments from hundreds of feature films about the Holocaust into a single cinematic collage. Built entirely from existing film scenes, the work retells the history of the Holocaust through an endless chain of quotations while posing a challenging question: What is memory, and to what extent has our understanding of the past been shaped by popular culture?

Following the screening, visitors are invited to join a discussion on the themes raised by the film and their continuing relevance today.

Date: 10 July 2026, 7:00 pm
