One Day in Ukraine

Skateboarding on the front line (6 min) - frontrunner
In Kharkiv, which is under fire every day, it is impossible to forget about the war. But you can ignore it for a certain period of time – when you and your friends are skateboarding through the streets of the city. What is this – an unjustified risk or an attempt to save the psyche?

ONE DAY IN UKRAINE (78 min)
This film plays out in Ukraine on a single day: March 14, 2022, the 2,944th day of the Russian-Ukrainian War.

In the last few weeks, intense warfare has surreally mixed places and people and created a post-apocalyptic dimension revealing new qualities and roles. Thousands of Kyivans have moved to live in subway stations. The capital city's previously calm suburbs have been transformed into battle zones of destruction and looting by Russian occupiers. People no longer live according to "workdays" or "weekends," counting instead the number of days since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine...

The film presents this day in the lives of a pop music star, video engineer, historian, art restorer, polar researcher, and pensioner, who were all forced to radically change their lives.
