Still in mind

An adventure documentary project created to promote Ukrainian ski culture and draw attention to the problem of deforestation. The film will tell the stories of people who choose to live in the flow, who choose to love their work no matter what. We will show how it all started and how much work has already been done. The viewer will see the beauty of our mountains and unforgettable adventures related to skiing. The film will encourage you to think about the importance of preserving our nature and show the boundless love for the mountains and the dangers they hide.
