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.

Ukraine

Genre Documentary

Director Andrii Polikashkin

Since February 24, 2022, Russia has been waging a full-scale war against freedom-loving Ukraine. The international community continues to be impressed by the courage and resilience of Ukrainians.
"The Battle for Freedom" is a unique VR-360 project that allows you to feel the horrors of this war and the scale of destruction through the "presence effect".

Overall, VR 360 format can be more valuable for documenting war crimes and horrors of war because it creates a more realistic and emotionally charged scene, preserves all the details and aspects of what is happening, and can be used for review and education.

An atmospheric documentary by Ukraїner about how in January 2023, young people from all over Ukraine united in three initiatives and went to Slobozhanshchyna to make a nativity scene.
