THE DMITRIEV AFFAIR (directed by Jessica Gorter) will have its world premiere at Krakow Filmfestival in Poland this June. The film is about Yuri Dmitriev who, inside the Russian forests, against the wishes of the authorities, searches for mass graves from the era of Stalin’s terror against his own people - until one day Yuri is arrested and sentenced to 15 years in a penal colony. Following Yuri closely, the film paints a shocking picture of the way the Russian state rewrites history and treats its citizens.

On June 8th the documentary will premiere in Dutch cinemas in EYE in Amsterdam.
