Mysterious Skovoroda

39 minutes - Ukraine 2012

Genre Documentary

Category Short documentary

Director Olena Hmirova

Even if we study the life of Hryhoriy Skovoroda in the smallest detail, it will still remain a mystery to us… Probably because his thoughts still live in many dimensions.

The variety of different interpretations of his life and work reaches more than five thousand explorations… Hryhoriy Skovoroda is always wanted by someone either in the national or religious sense. Protestants and Freemasons, atheists and anti-clericals, mystics and even hippies call him.

The film tries to find answers to the question: What was Hryhoriy Savych really like? Why did the philosopher flee from the world? And from what world did he flee?

Treat / Punish

31 minutes - Ukraine 2021

Genre Documentary

Director Anna Tohmahchі

The film tells the story of two people: a country boy who was a cinema mechanic, showed films in village clubs, played the accordion masterfully and was the soul of the company; and a criminal who has spent 20 years in prison for murder and robbery and is about to die in prison. They both contracted tuberculosis with a difference of 60 years, finding themselves in "state houses".

The film seeks to answer the question, who is to blame for the fact that people are still dying from a disease that has long been learned to treat? Does everyone have the same right to health, which is protected by the Constitution? And what should the state do first, treat or punish?

Matchmakers 5

Ukraine 2011

Genre Comedy

Director Andrіy Yakovliev (II)

Masha and Maxim Kovalyov, having worked in the Netherlands for eight years, are returning home. The in-laws are eagerly looking forward to meeting Zhenya — now without Yuri, who died of a heart attack a few years ago. But what awaits them is not a sweet, obedient girl, but a difficult, rebellious teenager who grew up without parental attention and now frightens those around her with her behaviour and interests. The situation is made worse for the in-laws by the calculating and cunning twins, Nikita and Vika, who are ready for risky adventures.

The in-laws decide to take Zhenya and the twins to Olga’s house for a ‘re-education’—Olga has moved to Sosny-3, a village for the scientific elite. Attempts to reform them, first using Ivan’s method and then Olga’s, yield no results. Only an understanding of teenage problems and active involvement in solving them reveals the old Zhenya to them — determined, witty and cheerful. And, as ever, loving her grandparents. Along the way, the matchmakers take part in a goth festival, become chatters and organise a family band; Zhenya finds a friend who turns out to be a rival, and her first serious crush, which ends in disappointment; Valya becomes a motorist and businessman; and Olga finds new love.

The Firing Line

90 minutes - SwedenUkraineLithuania 2025

Genre DocumentaryDrama

Category Full-length documentary

Director Olga Gibelinda

The film is dedicated to the heroic deeds of Ukrainian firefighters and rescuers, who are the first to deal with the consequences of rocket strikes every day and save lives.

The film focuses on the rescuers of the 25th fire and rescue unit of the city of Kyiv. They are not abstract heroes but ordinary people with families, fears, and responsibilities who, in critical moments, become the backbone of entire districts of the city.

The film combines the scale of testimonies and archives that the film's creative team has been compiling since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. In particular, it shows the work of rescuers in Bakhmut, Pokrovsk, Kharkiv, Kyiv, Irpin, Dnipro, and Kramatorsk, combined with observations of the heroes' lives outside of work – where strength is born from care and compassion.
