My War and Me

2024 · 1 season

A sober, diary-like plunge into sudden wartime, more testimony than spectacle, asking patience and leaving a heavy quiet behind.

Created by
Roman Sadovskyi
Genres
Drama, Documentary
Starring
Rimma Zyubina, Oleh Stefanov, Dmytro Oliinyk
Overview
A documentary film in ten parts. It covers the first three weeks of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, a time when life was split into “before” and “after” and the problems of strangers became personal. The film is built on video diaries that recreate the experiences of Ukrainians in different wartime conditions — under shelling, in occupation, in bomb shelters, and in forced emigration. The project is based on documentary and artistic texts, poetry, interviews, and chronicles.
