A FILM BY PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING
UKRAINIAN JOURNALIST MSTYSLAV CHERNOV
ABOUT THE FILM
An AP team of Ukrainian journalists trapped in the besieged city of Mariupol struggle to continue their work documenting atrocities of the Russian invasion. As the only international reporters who remain in the city, they capture what later become defining images of the war: dying children, mass graves, the bombing of a maternity hospital, and more.
After nearly a decade covering international conflicts, including the Russia-Ukraine war, for The Associated Press, 20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL is Mstyslav Chernov’s first feature film. The film draws on Chernov’s daily news dispatches and personal footage of his own country at war. It offers a vivid, harrowing account of civilians caught in the siege, as well as a window into what it’s like to report from a conflict zone, and the impact of such journalism around the globe.

"This is the first Oscar in the history of Ukraine.
I'm grateful, it's an honor for me, but I'll probably be the first director on
this stage to say: "I didn't want to make this movie.”
I would like to be able to exchange this Oscar for Russia
never attacking Ukraine, never occupying our cities, for Russians not killing
tens of thousands of my fellow Ukrainian citizens.
I would give it up to have them release all the hostages,
the soldiers who defended our land, the civilians in their prisons. But I can't
change history, I can't change the past, but we are all together, you and I.
We are among the most talented people in the world. We can
make sure that history is corrected, that the truth prevails. And so that the
people of Mariupol who died and those who gave their lives will never be
forgotten, because cinema shapes memories, and memories shape history,"
"Glory to Ukraine!" Slava Ucraina
"Sono profondamente commosso. Potrei
essere l'unico regista nella storia a esprimere il desiderio di non aver mai
realizzato il proprio film.
Avrei voluto poter scambiare questo premio
con la certezza che la Russia non avesse mai invaso il nostro paese, non avesse
occupato le nostre città, non avesse ucciso decine di miglia di cittadini
ucraini.
Vorrei appellarmi ai russi affinché
liberino tutti gli ostaggi catturati, i soldati che hanno difeso nostro paese,
i cittadini che si trovano nei loro prigioni.
Non è nel mio potere modificare quanto già
accaduto - Tuttavia, insieme, io, voi, noi tutti, possiamo assicurarci che
questa trama venga corretta e che la verità emerga. Che coloro che hanno
sacrificato le loro vite non vengano mai dimenticati.
Il cinema ha il potere di forgiare ricordi,
e i ricordi a loro volta forgiano la storia."

We’re all spending more time online, and teens especially. A 2022 Pew research study found that 80% of teens report being on the internet frequently or “almost constantly.”
How can educators help teens navigate the online world so that digital sources become positive tools for learning and civic engagement, rather than dangerous suppliers of misinformation and disinformation?
This workshop will look at the state of teen digital literacy, and offer pedagogical tools and curriculum to help students become positively engaged in digital spaces.

Saturday, Trieste Ukulele Club at Parco di San Giovanni - Posto delle Fragole
Al centro di questa impresa cinematografica c'è un gruppo di 21 studenti delle scuole superiori di Trieste, Italia. Queste giovani menti, provenienti dal Nordio, Oberdan, CIOFS, Deledda e la Scuola Internazionale di Trieste, hanno intrapreso un viaggio di autoespressione ed esplorazione sociale attraverso la lente della migrazione, dell'identità e dell'accettazione. Sotto la guida di Susanne Seghayer, coordinatrice del Digital Storytelling Workshop, e la guida dell'organizzazione Young For Fun, questi studenti hanno approfondito le complessità del cinema.
"A Drop in the Ocean" è la storia di Marcelina, una ragazza migrante che affronta le sfide dell'assimilazione in una cultura nuova e sconosciuta, caratterizzata dalla sua freddezza e abilità tecnologica. Attraverso il viaggio di Marcelina, il film cattura le difficoltà affrontate dai migranti in tutto il mondo. Eppure, in mezzo a queste sfide, la narrazione offre speranza, mostrando il potere di trasformazione dell’amicizia e dello scambio culturale.
La produzione di "A Drop in the Ocean" non sarebbe stata possibile senza il sostegno dell'Ambasciata degli Stati Uniti in Italia e la collaborazione di Young For Fun e American Corner Trieste/Associazione Italo Americana FVG. Insieme, queste entità hanno fornito le risorse e la guida necessarie, consentendo a questi giovani talenti di realizzare la loro visione e amplificare le loro voci.
Mentre scorrevano i titoli di coda e gli applausi riempivano la stanza, è diventato chiaro che "A Drop in the Ocean" rappresenta una testimonianza del potere della giovinezza, della collaborazione e della narrazione.
At the heart of this cinematic endeavor lies a group of 21 secondary school students from Trieste, Italy. These young minds, hailing from institutions like Nordio, Oberdan, CIOFS, Deledda, and the International School of Trieste, embarked on a journey of self-expression and social exploration through the lens of migration, identity, and acceptance. Under the mentorship of Susanne Seghayer, the coordinator of the Digital Storytelling workshop, and the guidance of the Young For Fun organization, these students delved into the complexities filmmaking.
"A Drop in the Ocean" is the tale of Marcelina, a migrant girl navigating the challenges of assimilating into a new and unfamiliar culture—one characterized by its coldness and technological prowess. Through Marcelina's journey, the film captures the struggles faced by migrants worldwide. Yet, amidst these challenges, the narrative offers a glimmer of hope, showcasing the transformative power of friendship and cultural exchange.
The production of "A Drop in the Ocean" would not have been possible without the support of the US Embassy in Italy and the collaborative efforts of Young For Fun and the American Corner Trieste/Associazione Italo Americana FVG. Together, these entities provided the necessary resources and guidance, enabling these young talents to realize their vision and amplify their voices.
As the credits rolled and applause filled the room, it became clear that "A Drop in the Ocean" stands as a testament to the power of youth, collaboration, and storytelling.
