Director Statement

People who have been staying in Kyiv and are not going anywhere, they are called people-roots lighthouse people, anchor people. We support our city, and the city supports us. We are his heart and his soul. Kyiv reciprocates us. We will simply die without him, and we will die without us.
Someone said that art helps us to live in the hours of peace, and in the hours of war - to survive. So, without looking at the explosions and air raid sirens, we create music and movies; write scripts and pictures, and visit theaters, cafes and museums. We must help everyone we can. We live. We are all needed. Everyone is in their place. There are no extras people. Just find a place for yourself and it will be easier for you. The author of this project, being in Ukraine from the first day of the brutal invasion, like many other people of art, each in our own way, we continue to participate in the social and creative life of the country, trying, to the extent of our own strength and capabilities, to be useful in achieving great the goal is to defeat the invader.
