Support Ukrainian animation in these challenging times.

Ukrainian Program

With the war continuing to take lives, it's important not to forget how hard life is in Ukraine right now. From families, schools, sports clubs, stores to theatres and film festivals. Everything and everyone is affected by this conflict. Which is why we need to cherish Ukrainian animation more than ever. This programme - with both old and new shorts - is made in collaboration with Linoleum, the International Contemporary Animation and Media Art Festival in Kyiv, and KROK, the famous animation festival on a boat. Any profits from this special event will go to the two film festivals to keep the support for Ukrainian animation alive.

This program screened as part of Kaboom Animation Festival 2023

Our memories play an important role in the construction of identity and self-awareness. My childhood memories have acquired a special value for me since the outbreak of the full-scale war in Ukraine, my home country. For many children, this time will become a formative memory. My childhood in Ukraine was different and I want to share it with the audience in the form of an animated short. In the film I tell a personal story about my childhood memories and explore how memories are preserved and why they have a special meaning for people.
