‘Filming turbulent times: is there a Ukrainian documentary wave after 2014?’ with Yuliia Kovalenko | Kino 2026

Join the fifth seminar of our Kino 2026 programme on Ukrainian cinema. The Revolution of Dignity and the beginning of the Russian aggression in 2014 opened a new page in the history of Ukraine, not only in political and social life, but also in cinema. The tragic events and turbulent struggle for democracy prompted the emergence of new names on the cinematic landscape—many people who tried to comprehend the events in the country around them through the lenses of cameras.
