Ashes Settling in Layers on the Surface (Прах, що осідає шаром на поверхні)
Based on diaries and photographs of the director’s grandfather and mother, the film reconstructs the life of one family within the never-ending cycle of destruction and restoration in her hometown — Mariupol. Today, the director is left with nothing except her memories. And she is not the only one: while we are watching the film, somewhere there is a war.

Portrait of the Film Processing Center and of the people who were left in it. A casual time capsule that embodies the history of the Ukrainian film school. Is there hope for deconservation and preservation of memory?

Fragments of Ice (Фрагменти льоду)
A gentle hypnotic journey through the VHS archives of the (post-)Soviet figure skater who toured the West in the 80s and 90s. Years later, his daughter follows these videotaped memories to reveal a story about maturing: of herself, her family, and her society.
