CORRECTIV.Exile, in cooperation with Mediazona, invites you to an Exile Talks Movie Night featuring a screening of the documentary Cardboard: Who Is Erasing the Memory of Repression in Moscow, produced by Mediazona in collaboration with Raz/Rez documentary studio (Russian with English subtitles).

Cardboard is a documentary film about protest memory in contemporary Moscow. After the start of the full-scale war, metal memorial plaques commemorating victims of Stalinist repression began disappearing from the facades of residential buildings. In response, a small group of citizens returns these names to the urban space by hanging handmade cardboard plaques in place of the destroyed ones, while also investigating who is systematically erasing the memory of political repression — and why.

The film was selected for Artdocfest and nominated for the Redkollegia Award.

The screening will be followed by an open discussion with speakers who focus their work on public remembering of the repressive regimes of the 20th century - in Russia, Germany and beyond.

Speakers:
* Anne Thomas, International Coordinator at Stolpersteine
* Egor Isaev, Film Director, Curator of the Document Section at Mediazona, PhD Candidate at Ruhr University.
