Battle (Бій)

Experimental. Videopoetry. Without dialogs.

‘’Be patient- patience polishes you,

it strengthens your spirit - so be patient.

 No one will save you from distress, 

no one will knock you off your path.

Follow your path - it has chosen you forever,

along this path since childhood the Lord has been leading you"

Shot Down: A Man’s Journey Home (Розстріляний: історія чоловіка, який проривався додому)
In April 2022, when Russian troops withdrew from the Kyiv region, the world saw the horrifying footage of the Zhytomyr Highway. Dozens of Ukrainian civilians, mostly Kyiv residents, tried to escape from the bombing of the capital and its suburbs using this road and to flee to the western part of Ukraine. Meanwhile, the Russian military set up positions along the highway and fired at civilian cars. Dozens of Ukrainians, adults and children, were killed on the Zhytomyr Highway those days.

Slavik’s Journey to Forever (Славік на шляху у вічність)
Obsessed with the idea that only he could preserve the "true memory of Mariupol," Slavik gave up his business in the late 1990s and began tirelessly collecting artifacts and stories from the city — unaware that he was, in fact, gathering evidence of a world that would be destroyed by the Russian invasion.
