HD video, 22 min. 2017 Film written, directed, edited and produced by Mykola Ridnyi Cameramen: Mykola Ridnyi, Dmytro Pashko, Vadym Smarchenko The main heroes of the film are the young people from
Kharkiv, a city located in the Eastern part of Ukraine. Reaching their early
twenties coincided with the breakout of the war in the neighbouring region of
Donbass. An LGBT activist and poet, a fashion model, a group of
street artists, a creator of a computer game – all of them are artists or
working in the creative industries, typical for a peaceful life of a big city.
However, the proximity to the war affects each of the characters and their
activities. Heroes react and reflect political events through their specific
relationships with the urban space and the reality of the social media.       |
