Documentary Film Screening by Oleg Yakovlev

Come to watch and discuss three documentary films by Oleg Yakovlev!

• "Favorite Place: Berlin" (2018) – a dense and joyful collage story about the favorite places of 40 Berliners

• "Lucky Ticket" (2023) – a personal story of the author’s queer family’s emigration

• "No Turning Back" (2024) – a tragic story of a family from Kibbutz Be'eri in Israel, affected by a Hamas attack (shown at over 15 film festivals in Europe, America, and Asia)

The three films together form an arc from a joyful and reckless past to a tragic present, but still offer hope for the future.

The films will be shown with English subtitles.
