public figures are already cold in the street, and our prisoners of war, unfortunately, are in such conditions that we think they can and cannot wait for the end of winter. unfortunately, we cannot remain silent. we have no right to remain silent. my son says exactly what needs to be done. i am sure that our voices have been heard, they appealed to world leaders once and are still appealing to the world community. still, they join the negotiation process, all that is needed is a little creativity and patience in kremenchuk learned to create cartoons in the style of stop motion, among those who want to become a real animator was our correspondent iryna skripachok in the dark because the electricity in the city is turned off for a long time, but

with a strong desire to become real animators, today here they teach how to create their own cartoons in the style of stop motion on the table as a handyman plasticine material, today i suggest you all dive into the building of space. today we will travel to another planet and first i suggest you mold spaceships on which we will travel there among future animators, both children and adults , it turns out that there are also those who came not to learn from scratch . and to improve my own mastery of the stop motion technique, i made short videos there, more like some kind of instruction for creating a paper composition of some kind, but i wanted to acquire more some kind of freedom in expressing what i want to say and i thought that here you can find some new

information while everyone is busy modeling plasticine, we are doing a frame shooting with the craftswoman, in fact this photos of the object that flip quickly, they were taken in the intervals between the moments when this object is moved frame by frame at a distance of 1-2 mm, they moved the work a little bit, they moved it a little bit in one second 24 frames well, 12 24 is so that the eye perceives it, so that it is all smooth without well, it will be everything is smooth, the process is enthusiastic and creative. and the main thing is a minimum of costs and requirements, special tools and installation experience are not needed, and there are plenty of emotions , especially for 5-year-old children, they will fly to the galaxy, they

will have something to show off at home to their parents from kremenchuk for the espresso tv channel in a few moments on the espresso tv channel the forum of central and eastern europe and carpathia 20-22 the topic of discussion opportunities for the promotion of culture in the world today about how culture passes trials of war will be discussed by literary experts, translators , poets and film directors, so be with us and don't miss i say to you see you tomorrow see you doesn't happen only once every four years 32 national teams will meet on the fields of the

important opportunities for the promotion of culture in the world ukrainian culture in the world today i will actually start with this, i want to have your understanding of at what level we do this promotion in us to hear our we can be heard, we are loud in the world, or somewhere our voice is. you know how the light flashes when it disappears and no one can understand. and what are we talking about in principle and how do we promote it? - please , how loud. we sound very cultural today, ukraine during the war briefly answering such a concise question, i will say that we sound loud enough, maybe louder than ever before, but not loud enough, and the issue is not only in the volume, the issue is in the effectiveness of communication. now we are talking about how to communicate culture as our the national brand and our national heritage , and it is clear that these processes took place even before the war, but since ukraine is now at the top of the world news , it is being talked about in the political

aspect, the economic aspect, and above all, the military aspect , in the cultural aspect, they are actually talking less. but on the shelves of bookstores in the whole world with books by ukrainian authors have appeared in translations, and sometimes ukrainian books have also appeared in theaters, some such ukrainian cultural productions have also appeared, whether it is about cinema, we probably cannot say enough yet to a certain extent, i think this is a good chance to declare yourself and to use your culture, and you should not be ashamed of it, just like a weapon in this war . god forbid, in fact, culture is freedom, yes, and freedom should be manifested in various forms, and i don't think that we should now take away dana's right to free creative expression, turn him into a propagandist, this is not what it's about, it 's about the fact that culture is a tool for self-assertion affirmation of our desire to be our will to be and in order for this communication to be

more effective and more effective we need to work a lot and above all, it seems to me that there is a lack of systematicity, that is, there are a lot of individual voices, more or less loud, more or less bright but in order for this there was a powerful choir, and the choir is sometimes better heard than the soloist, for that you need a systemic state policy in this field, and not only the state one, for this you need more of the organization itself, more of networking, more of those networks which in our country show their effectiveness very effectively on the example of our volunteer movement there, such cultural volunteerism has outgrown something very , very much ms. halyna's system. i can hear it today. well, then we will talk about how to make it so that you say p bohdan, uh, this choir. it sounded louder, please

, mrs. galina. this is for communication abroad and the presentation of ukrainian literature. i see that the individual voices of especially talented authors , they help us a lot to present ukraine and what is happening now and the main thing in this situation so that we do not lose this moment, that is, after the presentation of culture, after the performances of our authors at festivals, there must be discussions , really i would say already bohdan, systemic mass media, because, for example, almost every western university has russian and ukrainian, so literally in the universities taken into account, this means that they do not have and do not train specialists who can represent ukrainian literature in these countries and on

some individual initiatives, of course, we can sober up for a while, but for systemic , long-term effects, we need constitutional systemic changes, and this moment is just very well provided for doing it. ugh, these shelves, for example, of ukrainian books in western bookstores are appear by themselves very often, it is a local individual personal initiative when a person comes and says that such plantologies of ukrainian have appeared from ukrainian literature in english for example, do you ask me to buy them in other languages? we want to read them, and very often bookstores respond exactly in this way, that is, they do not do this on their own initiative, often even at the request of their readers, mrs. irina, i have a question for you. just how loud ukraine sounds and how high-quality, high

-quality this voice is so what ukraine is sounding about today is pain, trauma, hope, some kind of demand for europe, uh, with the fact that you also have to distinguish something like this voice how interesting it is foreigners perceive that how do they hear us , please, in fact, foreigners are also very different and i am constantly convinced that this role of a cultural diplomat, which unexpectedly falls to us, i mean both directors and writers. well, to all my colleagues from various tsaren, this is just an additional role for which, on the one hand , i did not prepare myself. on the other hand, during the war years, it suddenly became clear that this is also one of the types of our weapons, if it does not sound pathetic. this year, i feel, uh, in various audiences had to

to travel, to perform, to talk, some great new greed, which i have not seen before, and sometimes it even surprises me, how they ask about everything in the world, how they strive to be explained to them simply on their fingers, told some things that are obvious to us, and on the one hand, it is sometimes a little annoying, or it seemed i would have been hitting some kind of wall for many years and i would like to believe that we have already explained all this tens of hundreds of times, but if there is a demand, then i think there should be this dialogue. that is, it is a two-way process, and when you know us, it is so painful what affects us do not know and still many perceive ukrainian perceive ukrainian culture as a kind of satellite in russian, which only now, as it seems to them, allegedly began to speak about itself in its own voices,

but surely we understand that ukraine has not spoken enough about itself, and i absolutely agree with my colleagues about the fact that this work should be systematic , because all these individual voices work quite well and break the ice in different audiences, but i agree with this metaphor about the choir, it is very accurate. well, if we talk about what interests me i am interested in absolutely everything about observations this year, even this really surprised me, because it would seem at times that these are intellectuals, people who know history and art, but they ask such things that you know, you just have to take the children by the hand and explain something that is quite obvious to us, you know now let's go to the past a little bit, let's

go and together with mrs. solomiya, we will tell about one very important story that happened 100 years ago and will happen again now, you know me, it always surprises me a little, well, it's just a consequence of the fact that our ukrainian culture was under such a multi-layered layering of russian and russian communists that it must all be torn away, they say. and will ukrainian remarque appear now , conditionally speaking, because there is war and remarque. everything must listen. we had kosinka, we had khvylovy, which you wrote. about the war, about the horrors of the civil war, about the famine, and we also experienced these wars, but it is always like this in our country. little and we present to the most prestigious concert hall in new york, carnegie

hall , this year marks the 100th anniversary of the north american premiere of shchedrik's work, carnegie hall. choral groups from ukraine and north america, what is interesting is that the leading concert is the iconic american director martin scorsese. by the way, one of my favorite american actresses is ukrainian the origin is also a very good actress vera farmiga , i will even ask ms. solomiya to tell more about it and about the importance of these events in general and maybe about the problem that 100 years ago we were heard and then we disappeared for 100 years, how difficult is it now to rise again to a high level and self-identification, first of all, please, and thank you for your questions, and this is actually a very important weekend for us at the ukrainian institute, because we have been preparing this project for a very long time. the actual celebration of the centennial uh, generous in america, to be honest, i would really like to give a little more historical framework at the end of the nation in the early 1920s, indeed the ukrainian

government of the 20s of the 20th century, the ukrainian government very clearly understood in the head of the petliura that culture, this is the platform where we , as ukrainians, can also show, present and explain ourselves to the world, and the most symbolic moment of all the stories when shchedryk was presented in the usa is that that on the territory of ukraine a in the 22nd and 23rd years unfortunately, there was already a completely different military , economic and political situation, and the choir continued to hold concerts and talk about ukraine. and this is an extremely symbolic and also extremely sad moment

. in fact, they didn't hear us in the 20s of the xx century. maybe we were quiet. but we ca n't explain now. history doesn't have a conditional tense, but that's what we can fix now. i really agree with mr. bohdan galina and and and irina about the fact that our cultural diplomacy should absolutely have systematic work. and i, like then in the 20s of the 20th century, and now we need to prepare for a huge marathon, we have all gone through the first 9 months of a full-scale war with you. now we are preparing, we are not preparing, we already have and entered the marathon, no one asked us, but we are already thinking about how to work more systematically, how not to miss moments, and then not to think in 50-70 years whether we did not finish something or simply did not hear us or

political, geopolitical, certain chessboards were a bit unfavorable for us here. and you know, they also tell me the truth. this is a job that is currently and probably will never end . absolute systematicity in e is a constant presence, and from this i will also add about other and promotion frankly speaking even if this is the name of our panel today talks promotion probably this is not quite the word that we should use uh in relation to cultural diplomacy in relation to cultural relations i would rather say the word dialogue which has already sounded today, why is it important when we suppose we come to germany or to france , very important partners and friends of ukraine, we do not

come to a wealthy white man, er, in the seventh knee to a german there or a frenchman we may come to 25% of the people from we come african crowns are people, and when we approach the dialogue format in building cultural relations, we then do things more correctly , accordingly, more successfully, and therefore i would still like to emphasize today that promotion is promotion there will also be such projects that will focus on showing ukraine, but we at the ukrainian institute have been talking about it for a long time and we want many colleagues to do so

. always think about who you are going to talk to, and what is important for your person to know, what you want to know about ukraine, and what it actually gives her, so what political solutions, what views can we co-form together ? in this dialogue with them, we have enough. time but then i'm so that we all have time to talk, uh, of those , don't say everything that we can say about. i say talk less, but just so that we have time to discuss all the important topics, you know. well , in continuation of what mrs. solomiya said, i want to perhaps add a little and continue our discussion in the sense that you know when you are going through the war as many other peoples actually went through when we come with the fact that we have a war, you will hear us

, it happens to many people, it just happened. maybe someone has forgotten, maybe the generation passed, but we are the generation that is going through it. and here i am already and i understand that we sound like we will not sound like that. no, when in another time because war gives a different sound and i would, mr. bohdan, i would like to start talking with you about how it is perceived or is it possible to perceive it in a new way ukraine is now opening up, you know, it is opening up in a different way. our history, cultural history and prominent figures of ours is also perceived. how important is it today? by the way, it is not only about the present to talk about today's writers, artists, but also to talk about our culture. means to talk not only about ourselves, because we are not only me , so our identity will be created by those who are next to us, who are with us, who were before us, who will be after us, so talk about your cultural heritage, it means talking about your grandparents

300 years from the day of your birth, this is what i communicated exactly 720 years ago, when we talk about frank, about a frying pan, about shevchenko, we are not just talking about some relics of antiquity, about some museum exhibits, i am a museum worker, yes, this is not something bad a museum exhibit, but these are not just exhibits, these are people, these are people alive to the extent that we remember them and how they create our today, many of these people are frankly more famous than us. i am very glad that ivan franko is much more famous than any director of the house of frank and skovorod, probably knowing her from all pan connoisseurs, yes from everyone who speaks and writes about him. and that is wonderful. these are our national brands . stereotypes about them come from the soviet or russian-imperial past we must talk to them with our predecessors because his whole
