Ukraine. Displaced. Short films and Q&A | Ukrainian film festival 2024

21 September 2024 | 3:00pm

Over 6 million Ukrainian refugees have been recorded globally, and almost 5 million people have been displaced internally within Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale war, making it the largest displacement crisis since World War II. The films of this programme delve into the emotional landscapes of those forced to flee the ravages of war, capturing the essence of starting anew against one’s will, and the challenges of adapting to a new reality while preserving one’s roots.

Curators: Sasha Prokopenko and Olga Gusiatynska, KISFF.
