Special Operation

When Russian forces occupied the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant at the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, its CCTV cameras continued recording. Built entirely from this footage, Special Operation transforms surveillance images into evidence of nuclear terror.

The Chornobyl Zone was occupied by Russian troops on 24 February 2022, in the opening hours of their full-scale invasion of Ukraine. They turned the territory of the Nuclear Power Plant into a military base in an attempt to occupy the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, just 100 km away. The Russian plan was to stay in Chornobyl for just three days, believing that would be enough time for Ukraine’s downfall. Instead, they were stuck at the radioactive site for five weeks, only to see their army collapse in the battle for Kyiv. Most of their criminal activities during this period had been captured by the plant’s CCTV system, which they had failed to disable. Built entirely from this footage, Special Operation is a forensic film where each shot is a piece of evidence of a Russian war crime in Ukraine.

The screening on Sunday, November 8th will be followed by Q&A with the producer Lyuba Knorozok.
