Where Russia Ends (2024) + A Small Digression (2025)
Line up: Anarchist Film Festival

Where Russia Ends

Oleksiy Radynski | 2024 | 25' | Ukrainian, EN subtitles 

Where Russia Ends is an essayistic road movie that interrogates the overlooked histories of settler colonialism and environmental destruction in Russia-occupied indigenous lands.

In 2022, a number of previously unknown film materials had been discovered at the Science Film Studio in Kyiv, documenting several filmic expeditions undertaken in the 1980s by a group of Ukrainian filmmakers to various parts of Siberia and the Far North. These materials are the starting point for the recovery of erased histories of multiple imperialist wars that the Russian state had waged against its current colonies.

A Small Digression

Vegan | 2025 | 26' | Ukrainian, EN subtitles

A film in the best tradition of D.I.Y.—a GoPro, a phone, cut and paste—but only this time about a vegan anarchist soldier on the front lines of the Russo-Ukrainian War, in your face, intimate, and brutal. But honest to the bone.

Anarchist Group Amsterdam (AGA), in collaboration with Filmhuis Cavia, welcomes you back to the Amsterdam Anarchist Film Festival. Seven long years after our 2019 edition, we return with an exciting programme of films meant to bring hope, anger, joy and a call to action against an ever more absurd and crumbling capitalist reality that drifts into the future on the waves of war, genocide, environmental destruction and the looming rise of techno-fascism.

From December 4th to 6th at Filmhuis Cavia, we seek to create an oasis of resistance with screenings, talks and discussions meant to build solidarity, community and nourishment for the soul and mind. Our selection of films will explore varied topics: from critiques of patriarchal norms and historical anarchist struggles to absurd loops of gender-bending fun and postcolonial malaise.
