Rain Project

Armed with his brushes, the mural painter Gamlet Zinkivsky roams the streets of the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, 20 km from the front line. The artist's initiative does not go unnoticed.

Own Voice

For over a century ‘Carol of the Bells’ has been heard across the globe, but few know this song as ‘Shchedryk’, nor its Ukrainian origins. Own Voice delves into this history, and in so doing provokes a discussion about heritage and a changing world.

The Ukrainian Argument

The collective portrait of the rank-and-file creators of the Ukrainian Revolution of Dignity of 2013-2014 and their individual opponents consists of many interviews with supporters and opponents of the Maidan, with the help of which modern history is impartially recorded. Sincere stories of completely different people on both sides of the barricades, different opinions, goals and hopes.

Junk

Where geography and common sense doesn't work, there is a place for him. This is a story about a person who has everything. It is not quite the same we used to imagine as the products of contemporary system of values. Living on the edge between alcoholic dreams and awakenings Fenik has found his niche.

Nevseremos! People of Maidan

Sparked by the aftermath of the 2004 Ukrainian presidential election, Ukrainians began a series of protests against fraud and towards genuine democracy. History remembers it as the Orange Revolution, and here Sergii Masloboishchykov interrogates its foundation and motivations. By filming miners, villagers and students across Ukraine, the film maps a geography of the vast country that bridges the gap between East and West. Together they create a political argument for Ukrainian society, which, as the film states clearly, is a source of power.
