A special film marathon took place at the Ukraine House in Washington as part of the “Culture v/s War” project, organized by the Embassy of Ukraine in the U.S. and the “Watch Ukrainian” association. The event was dedicated to the 34th anniversary of Ukraine’s Independence Day.
This was reported by Ukraine House.
Viewers were presented with the documentary film “Palianytsia,” directed by Kadim Tarasov and produced by Aerosol Arsenal Films. The producers were Kateryna Tymchenko, BANDIT, and Ryan Smith. The film tells the story of American artists Bandyt and Jonny, who, through their art, reflect on the realities of the war in Ukraine while seeking answers to questions about humanity in times of destruction.
Together with the street artists, the audience took a virtual journey through Ukrainian cities devastated by the russian invasion, discovering moments of anxiety, peace, and true magic.
“The film inspires reflection and encourages seeking answers to existential questions: how to remain human amid destruction and how to transform in order to open one’s soul,” the organizers noted.
At the screening, Kateryna Smagliy, Counselor to the Ambassador of Ukraine to the U.S., delivered welcoming remarks. Representatives of the Embassy of Ukraine in the U.S. and the “Watch Ukrainian” association thanked all those who contributed to the organization and attended the screening.
The organizers also announced that the next screening within the “Culture v/s War” film marathon will take place at Ukraine House next Wednesday.
