On December 8, Scandinavia House presents a special screening and film talk of Ukraine’s entry for Best International Feature Film at the 99th Academy Awards: the powerful, defiant war documentary Traces. Producers Olha Bergman and Natalia Libet will be present for a Q&A following the screening. Recipient of the Panorama Audience Award for Best Documentary at the 2026 Berlinale, Traces shines a light on Ukrainian women who, after surviving conflict-related sexual violence and torture during the Russian war of aggression, refuse to remain silent. Through the journey of Iryna Dovhan, a former captive turned activist who documents testimonies of affected women in the de-occupied territories of Ukraine, the film weaves a portrait of a collective trauma while opening space for hope.
