Women Occupied

90 minutes - GermanyUkraineBosnia and Herzegovina

Genre Documentary

Category Full-length documentary

Women Occupied is a 90-minute-long creative documentary film that provides an intimate, ruminative and thoughtful reflection on psychological trauma inflicted on women by last European wars. The film consists of three intertwined novels which together tell the stories of women survivors in Ukraine, Bosnia, and Germany who were subjected to mass rape during war during the previous century in Europe. As their stories unfold, we follow the women’s path from suffering the trauma to healing from it and toward regaining their power and dignity in search of justice.

Three stories will be told in parallel, but the main focus will be on a Ukrainian woman. The observation of her daily life will help us to get to know her step by step. We will observe her therapy sessions and see how she copes with the challenges that she faces in the aftermath of trauma and fleeing her home in the midst of a war. The other characters are women from Bosnia and Germany. They provide us with a global perspective which shows how their experiences, decisions, or actions were taken or not taken. And the way in which they affected their lives, the lives of their family and society. As well as what lessons they can share through their life story. This exploration will give the time and distance and insight that the main protagonist cannot give as she remains too close to her trauma. We will also observe their relationship with their families.

The film will also attempt to answer the question of how conflict-related sexual violence debases the whole society. We intend the film will help build women's solidarity against rape as a weapon of war and to offer a model for how a person can heal from trauma, and become stronger from the crimes committed against them.

The Gold Rush

97 minutes - Ukraine 2003

Genre Detective

Category Full-length

Director Mihaylo Bielіkov

The plot of the painting unfolds in two time planes – in our time and in the 1930s. It is known that Stalin was very fond of cinema. Once upon a time, after watching Charlie Chaplin's Gold Rush, he decided that the Soviet country should begin gold mining, of course, by political forces. The Stalin movie mechanic was appointed chief of the gold mines at Kolyma, who began his work so fervently that he began to make bullets out of gold and received the Order of Lenin.

It's been over 70 years. Sometime during a walk in the park, a young journalist, Nikolai Vorotnitsky, came upon a corpse of a well-known businessman and politician. Next to the body lay the Order of Lenin, and the murder was committed by a golden ball. An independent investigation leads the journalist to a real killer – but he decides not to publish his name. Not even a huge monetary reward can convince the disclosure of the secret – it is not about money, but ethics.
