My Favorite War (2020)

My Favorite War is an animated documentary telling the personal story of its director, Ilze, about her growing up in the Cold-War USSR. It is an exciting coming-of-age story about finding one’s own identity, truth and loyalty.

First, we meet Ilze as a little girl playing war at her granddad ́s farm, then she is faced with the horror of war threats at school. Ilze lives in a clash between the Soviet reality and pro-paganda denying what people actually are experiencing. Moreover, Ilze also finds out how opposite in their beliefs are people whom she loves the most.

The film is about choices a girl has to make in a very young age, then getting wiser and finding courage to speak out.

  • Director: Ilze Burkovska Jacobsen
  • Country: Latvia
  • Duration: 77 min
  • Trailer
 
In-person viewing will take place in Splendid Palace, the oldest theatre/cinema in the region and a national architectural monument. 

The movie is also available online for 7 days, until the 2nd of June and you can register for the online projection here.

Discussion 'Creating lasting peace: How countries cope with historical trauma' 

The USSR was formally dissolved in 1991, when Latvia also gained independence. The Singing Revolution that led to the restoration of independence of Baltic states from the Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War was a non-violent revolution that overthrew a violent occupation. While recognition of victims and perpetrators is a precondition to putting the past to rest, it is just a first step in healing collective trauma.  
 

During this debate, we will explore Latvia’s struggle for its own independence and identity through the lens of memory politics, and how this relates to Ukraine’s own fight for freedom and self-determination. What is the way Latvia has been dealing with its past and what are other European examples of dealing with war crimes, repression of human rights, and ethnic cleansing? How can transitional justice bring lasting peace and security in post-conflict situations?
