Eddy’s War: Documentary Screening & Panel Discussion

🗓 9 November 2026
🕕 18:00
📍 Ciné Utopia, 16 avenue de la Faïencerie, Luxembourg

As part of the Advocacy Coalition – Defending Our Future Now 2026–2027 @advocacy.coalition, the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Luxembourg presents a special screening of Eddy’s War, a documentary exploring the realities of Russia’s war against Ukraine through the lens of Dutch war photographer Eddy van Wessel.

Directed by Joost van der Valk, the film follows Eddy van Wessel @eddyvanwessel, the Netherlands’ most awarded war photographer, as he travels along the Ukrainian front lines in search of one powerful image that could capture the reality of war. Through his encounters with Ukrainians, the documentary reveals the human stories behind the photographs and the emotional challenges of documenting war.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring:

• Eddy van Wessel @eddyvanwessel, Dutch photojournalist
• Inna Yaremenko @inna_yaremenko23, President of LUkraine
• H.E. Carin Lobbezoo, Ambassador of the Netherlands to Luxembourg

More than a documentary screening, this event is an opportunity to reflect on the importance of photojournalism, the human impact of war, and the stories of Ukrainians whose experiences deserve to be seen and heard.

🎟 Free admission | Registration required
📩 Register by 5 November at lux-events@minbuza.nl

Organised by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Luxembourg.

3 augustus: Wij vergeten de Jezidi-genocide nooit.
Vandaag staan we stil bij de zwarte bladzijde van 3 augustus 2014 in Sinjar. Duizenden onschuldige mensen werden het slachtoffer van een wrede genocide. Vrouwen en kinderen werden ontvoerd, families werden verscheurd en gemeenschappen werden verwoest.
We herdenken de slachtoffers, eren de overlevenden en blijven strijden voor gerechtigheid, erkenning en vrede. De wonden zijn nog altijd diep, maar de veerkracht van het Jezidi-volk blijft een bron van inspiratie.
Laat de wereld dit nooit vergeten. 🕊️🖤

Today it’s time to say goodbye to our dear colleague @jokereuvers. Here is her personal message:

After two years at this Embassy, this is a goodbye post that’s really hard for me to write.

These past two years have given me memories I’ll carry with me for a veeery long time: from preparing many many high-level meetings and working through busy Presidency days, to quiet mornings at the office and lunch breaks that turned into the funniest conversations.

I’ve been so lucky to work with an amazing team, on an island that welcomes everyone so warmly (and very literally!! 🌞), and to be part of projects that really meant a lot to me. We brought streets back to life for children to play on (with @opu_collective), made people stand still and reflect in a room filled with @eddyvanwessel’s photographs, and experienced moments like the visit of the King and Queen and the prime minister together.

But more than anything, I will remember the people I got to work with. Colleagues became very good friends, and even the busiest days felt lighter because of the humour, support and team spirit I experienced! 🥹

To the whole Embassy team: thank you for your trust, your patience with my endless questions, and for teaching me so much along the way ❤️

And to Cyprus: thank you for the sunshine, the kindness of your people, and for becoming a place that feels a little like home.

So, this isn’t really goodbye - it’s more of a “see you soon”!! I’m taking soooo many wonderful memories with me to my next adventure.🧡

Arles is impossible to experience in full—and maybe that’s exactly the point…😉
Instead of trying to see everything, I prefer to follow the moment, embrace the unexpected, and stay open to whatever encounters come my way…

Here are just a few personal impressions from the past two days: discovering Antoine de Winter’s & Cloé Harent‘s beautiful residency exhibition for InCadaqués, inspiring conversations with Eddy van Wessel (already looking forward to our collaboration with our fotofestival next year), reconnecting with wonderful friends and colleagues from the IPFA community, visiting Pooya Abbasian’s Soli-Sombre, spending time at LUMA Arles, and sharing beautiful moments with Ketevan Gvinepadze as we begin a new chapter with our collective SAMAIA, together with Dina Oganova💛💛

More personal impressions from Arles soon…

Ken jij mijn tijdschrift al?

De nieuwe editie van mijn tijdschrift is uit en dit keer is het een heel bijzondere Rumi-special. ✨

Rumi was een 13e-eeuwse Perzische dichter, filosoof en mysticus, wiens woorden mensen wereldwijd nog altijd inspireren om met meer liefde, compassie en bewustzijn te leven.

In deze editie lees je onder andere interviews met documentairemaker @sinancan77 en de meest bekroonde oorlogsfotograaf van Nederland, @eddyvanwessel .

Daarnaast duiken we in een onderwerp waar bijna iedereen mee worstelt: waarom zijn we allemaal zó moe… en belangrijker nog: wat kun je eraan doen?

Ook ontdek je welk orgaan je tot wel twee keer zo snel kan laten verouderen, terwijl bijna niemand er aandacht aan schenkt. (Ra ra… welk orgaan is dat? 😉)

En natuurlijk vind je weer heerlijke recepten, dit keer geïnspireerd op de wijsheid en smaken van Rumi.
📖 Nu te bestellen via de link in mijn bio. ⬆️

🔙Eddy’s War, An Exhibition

“Eddy van Wessel’s photographs bring the reality of war closer.” This is what our @ministerbz Tom Berendsen summed up well.

Last week in Limassol, we welcomed Ukrainian Minister @sybiha.andrii and @ministerbz Tom Berendsen to an exhibition that gave a human face to the Russian invasion in Ukraine. Through @eddyvanwessel ‘s powerful photographs, we were reminded that behind every headline are people, families, and lives forever changed.

We are extremely grateful to our local partner @cyprusphotographicsociety who put in all the work setting up and hosting the exhibition. Thank you, Eddy, for coming to Cyprus once again and bringing these stories to light and helping us connect with the reality, resilience, and humanity behind the conflict.

🇺🇦 🇳🇱 🇪🇺

Дипломатичний день України на Кіпрі пройшов у режимі інтенсивних переговорів. На полях неформальної зустрічі глав МЗС країн ЄС у форматі Gymnich у Лімасолі міністр закордонних справ України Андрій Сибіга провів серію зустрічей із європейськими партнерами та керівництвом ЄС.

Ключові теми — прискорення вступу України до ЄС, посилення санкцій проти росії та роль Європи у майбутніх мирних переговорах. Україна закликає ЄС переходити від політичних заяв до конкретних рішень у сфері безпеки та відкривати переговорні кластери вже найближчим часом.

Під час зустрічей українська сторона також озвучила гуманітарні ініціативи: припинення вогню щодо портів і аеропортів, створення коридору для евакуації людей з окупованих Олешок, повернення цивільних заручників та демілітаризацію Запорізької АЕС.

ЄС поки не призначатиме спеціального посланця з питань війни в Україні. Високий представник ЄС із закордонних справ Кая Каллас та низка країн, включаючи Німеччину, назвали цей крок передчасним.

У Брюсселі наголошують, шо спершу Євросоюз має сформувати спільну позицію щодо можливих переговорів із росією. У ЄС не вірять у готовність путіна реально припинити війну, тому робота над новими санкціями триває. Уже найближчим часом Єврокомісія представить 21-й пакет економічних санкцій проти росії.

«Час настав саме зараз — як для рішень щодо членства України в ЄС, так і для жорсткішої реакції Європи на війну», — заявив Сибіга за підсумками переговорів

Some exhibitions are not meant to be “seen.”
They are meant to be felt.

Now at Morphy Gallery, documentary photography becomes more than art — it becomes evidence, memory, pain, and truth.
Images from the war in Ukraine remind us that behind every headline are real lives, interrupted futures, destroyed homes, and people carrying unimaginable strength.

In a world that quickly moves on, these photographs force us to stop and look closer.
To remember.
To stay human.

Thank you to the photographer @eddyvanwessel for the courage to witness, and to Morphy Gallery for creating a space where silence speaks louder than words.
