Didochok

2015 · 9 min

A strange, wordless collage that feels like an old propaganda reel turned inside out, unsettling and wry.

Directed by
Volodymyr Tykhyy
Genres
Comedy, Drama
Starring
Lina Budnyk, Oleh Mosiichuk
Overview
An absurd story reflecting contemporary social problems in Ukraine, told in the century-old language of cinema, linking modernity and traditional Soviet socialist realism. Classical imagery imitates an old ideology contradicting the author’s worldview revealing the roots of reality’s distortion in this post-Soviet ambience showing that cultural, political and economic problems are knotted in military conflict.
