"On the weekend, March 9/10 at the HUMAN film festival, we will have two showing of my new documentary film All Static & Noise about the Uyghur crisis in Western China. Saturday will have a screening and Q&A. Sunday will have much more programming including a short film, then a panel discussion, the my film and then a Q&A and outside the theater will be a VR exhibit depicting the inside of a re-education camp as described by eyewitness testimony. Here is a link to the events: https://vp.eventival.com/humanfilm/2024/film/980369
On campus on Monday March 11, at 18:00, the UiO department of literature, area studies and European Languages is sponsoring a screening of my previous film, Finding Babel, about Soviet writer Isaac Babel who was executed by Stalin. The film today is being framed in the current war between Russia and Ukraine. Again, I would love to have film and communications people in the audience and especially for the Q&A.
