Chronicles of Fortinbras

29 minutes - Ukraine 2001

Genre ExperimentalDocumentary and game

Category Full-length documentary

Director Oksana Chepelik

Based on selected philosophical essays by Oksana Zabuzhko.

The director of the film interprets the philosophical text and the feminist tone of the author's view of national consciousness in the space of cultural turmoil, creating an associative fabric of juxtaposition of expressive image and commentary.

At the beginning of the film, a young, beautifully dressed woman enters the pavilion. She is met by two dwarfs. They suspend her by her legs and arms from the ceiling with cables, undress her, and begin to play with her "crucified" body. Meanwhile, a text from the Chronicles of Fortinbras is read off-screen. In fact, it is a filmed performance in which a metaphorical generalised woman finds herself in a "suspended animation" and falls victim to the cruel and senseless games of the lowly masters of life.

Ethos. I Am Coming For You

Ukraine 2024

Genre Documentary

Director Anhel Anhelov

Special Operations Forces are one of the most mythologized and mysterious branches of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They are the military elite of the state, consisting of the most motivated fighters. Their faces are forbidden to be shown in the media and social networks, their names, and surnames are classified. This is because each of these fighters poses a threat to the existence of our enemy, Russia. Through their tactical actions, the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers are able to achieve success at the operational and strategic level.

An ethos is a set of prevailing values, a code of conduct that is strictly adhered to by the fighters. The ethos of the Special Operations Forces consists of concepts such as freedom, courage, dignity, self-control, brotherhood, and loyalty to the oath.


The first episode is dedicated to one of the most powerful units of the Special Operations Forces (SOF) - the Third Separate Special Forces Regiment, named after Prince Sviatoslav the Brave.
