Together, they comprise a coherent narrative about the life and work of Ukrainian cultural luminaries during the large-scale Russian war and the role of the European Union’s immediate support for artists after February 24, 2022. The first film in the series, ‘Culture in Time of War. The West’ was premiered on June 29, 2023, so Ukraïner’s work continued for almost a year, and now all the films will be screened in Kyiv, followed by Chernihiv, Poltava, Odesa and Lviv.
