Notes From Caracas: A Conversation with Tuki Jencquel
Wednesday, February 18, 2026 9:00 am – 10:30 am CET/GMT+1Seminar room 3 (P98)
The Civic Engagement and Democracy seminar invites you to a conversation with the filmmaker and producer Tuki Jencquel. We'll discuss Notes from Caracas - a new Deutsche Welle documentary Jencquel has just produced about the recent US attack on Venezuela - as well as his other films, and the challenges of civically engaged filmmaking.
On 3 January 2026, the United States launched a military strike in Caracas and captured incumbent Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. How do the Venezuelan people see this event and its implications for the future of their country? Notes from Caracas gives them a voice. You can watch the film on YouTube.
