A LETTER TO UKRAINE / LAIŠKAS UKRAINAI (2023)
Director / Producer
Collective documentary, 98 min., Lithuania.
Russian military invasion in February 2022 irreversibly changed lives of all Ukrainians and interrupted peace in Europe. Those who directly experience the war have a clear choice: to fight or to escape. The further from the front lines, the more questions emerge: to keep interest or to ignore, to welcome or to turn away, to donate or to go fight? Lithuanian film community got together for a voluntary project with the aim to document what was happening during this complicated time in their country.
FESTIVALS & AWARDS:
Vilnius International Film Festival / Kino Pavasaris 2023 - closing film, Lithuania.
REVIEWS:
For me, this is the best Lithuanian film of this year's festival - subtle, showing people's solidarity, avoiding primitive slogans or self-promotional media characters. Instead it is offers to see those who sincerely help others and contribute to Ukraine's victory.
