| Abstract [eng] |
Documentary films have gained great significance in the present-day visual and media culture, therefore, the study of works of this genre, especially in terms of political persuasion and the dissemination of political ideas, is particularly relevant. In this case, documentary not only exists as a part of media and visual culture, but also creates / reveals a connection between art and political power. Since 2014, political events in Ukraine have been extensively represented in documentary films created by Ukrainian and foreign filmmakers and journalists. These films are significant both in the context of a nation state and on the international scene, when constructing and presenting political events, defining allies and opposing groups, and inducing audiences for civic and political actions. The dissertation analyzes how the geopolitical crisis that started in Ukraine at the end of 2013 – the first half of 2014 is represented and interpreted in the documentaries of Ukrainian and foreign filmmakers and what ideological attitudes are communicated / presented to the audience. |
