“Dovzhenko. The Great Compromise”
The line was taken up to the 130th anniversary of one of the most important names of Ukrainian cinema, the writer and director Oleksandr Dovzhenko, who was considered a speaker. The film tells about the thorny path of the Mitzah – from its first steps in cinema to the creation of iconic lines, which have become symbols of Ukrainian poetic cinema. The authors explore how Dovzhenko maneuvered between powerful creative ideals and political boundaries of the era.
The director of the episode, Igor Ivanko, is a participant in the documentary network BABYLON'13, who is known for his work about the events of the Maidan and the Russian-Ukrainian war.
Genius

Young people, a schoolgirl, a local gardener and a summer housewife – each of them bears the burden of trauma, but retains a spark of resilience, solidarity and hope. Over the course of three rocky films, we follow five people who are going through the particular costs, the trauma that is growing, and the search for justice, showing their path.

Between the hours of rotation and vacation, Oleksandr attended the theater, holding concerts, and became a military psychologist. Over time, he began to realize the duality of his life: the light of war and the light of mysticism coexisted in one person. An empty house and short meetings spent with my son made it impossible to predict happy hours when the homeland was in charge.
