Film and discussion (English)
Steffi Wurster’s documentary Frozen Conflict turns the lens on the conflict between the Republic of Moldova and the breakaway territory of Transnistria. The director observes the tranquil scene of a multilateral peacekeeping post and the more confrontational relationships in local and international politics, which she describes as a permanent deadlock of hearts and minds. After the screening, Steffi Wurster will talk to political scientist Nadja Douglas (ZOiS) about de facto states in Eastern Europe, Transnistria’s role in the region and the prospects for conflict resolution.
