Genre DocumentaryКінореконструкція

Director Serhіy Lisenko

The film focuses on the SBU's Alpha special unit, which in 1994 stopped a rebellion by Russian proxies who sought to separate the peninsula from Ukraine overnight. The filmmakers talked to the participants of the special operation and learned firsthand about the events of those days, and the first head of the SBU provided unique archival footage for the film. This special operation lasted over three months. After the SBU seized Crimea, the Alpha unit's special forces settled in the building's assembly hall for another 90 days. The film reconstructs these events.

The protagonists of the documentary Crimea. Liberation are: Yevhen Marchuk, the first head of the Security Service of Ukraine, the person who first received approval from President Kravchuk to launch the special operation; Vasyl Krutov, Lieutenant General of the Security Service of Ukraine; Vitaliy Romanchenko, Major General of the Security Service of Ukraine; Colonels Serhiy Ropaev and Pavlo Dubrov of the Security Service of Ukraine; and Colonel Ivan Yakubets.

Before the era of high-rating global shows, Ukrainian television had no money for international formats. To keep the audience engaged, TV creators had to come up with programs almost daily on a shoestring budget. As a result, iconic TV shows emerged and gifted Ukraine with stars who became symbols of the era.

Ihor Pelykh sent strangers on romantic journeys, Kuzma Skryabin urged participants to spend money quickly, and Ihor Kondratiuk created stars in a single day. This is the story of the diverse and genuine Ukrainian television of the 2000s, the legacy it left behind, and why everything changed.

Maintaining the work of schools in Ukraine is an attempt to reclaim at least a part of everyday life that existed before the full-scale invasion (before 24 February 2022 and in some regions, even earlier, in 2014).

Without interviews, voiceovers or reconstructions, Timestamp allows the audience to glimpse how the war affects the daily life of students and teachers. The film has a patchwork structure: it explores the functioning of schools in offline and online formats in these terrible times, both at the frontline and beyond. It demonstrates how everyday life is intertwined with constant danger.

A Trip Through the Eyes of Those Who Survived and Want to Change the World

In 1906, the Miles Brothers created the film A Trip Down Market Street, which documented Market Street in San Francisco before a major earthquake struck. After the catastrophe, the authors documented the street once again. Subsequently, the new film was titled A Trip Down Market Street After the Fire, serving as a tragic reflection of the city following a natural disaster and accompanying fires.

In 1974, the structuralist filmmaker Ernie Gehr reprinted the Miles brothers' film in a slow version and called it Eureka. Referring to the chronicle canvas of the Miles brothers and the avant-garde imprint of Ernie Gehr, the virtual camera films the Market Street of the fictional San Fierro in the classic video game GTA: San Andreas (2004) and creates an alternative version of life in which the earthquake could never happen, because the in-game terrestrial bark is a monolithic simulation that cannot be affected by external and internal damage. However, not all in-game space is undamageable, and everything that is "alive" impresses with its fragility. The authors integrate a missile attack on the infrastructure and civilians of Market Street, changing the peaceful way of life to a state of war, rhyming the in-game space with the chronicle A Trip Down Market Street After the Fire.
