“Culture in Time of War”: premiere of EU-supported Ukraїner documentary

On 29 June, the KINO42 cinema hosted premiere of the first film in a new series of documentaries – “Culture in Time of War. The West”. The film tells the stories of artists from Lviv, Chernivtsi, Lutsk and Uzhhorod and was produced as part of the European Union’s “Together, We Create. Together, We Preserve” communications campaign. The campaign has been running in all regions of Ukraine since March, informing Ukrainians about the European Union’s support for Ukrainian culture and art in times of war.

The creative team of Ukraїner – a well-known educational multimedia project on Ukrainian studies that produces its materials based on socio-cultural expeditions – will make four trips to the North, South, East and West of Ukraine. With the support of the European Union, four short stories will be filmed about the life and work of Ukrainian cultural figures in the context of the full-scale Russian war. Together, they will complete a mosaic of how Ukrainian culture functioned during the war and how the European Union supported the Ukrainian cultural front.
