Lessons of Tolerance
Writer
As for the plot, a provincial school teacher who wishes to save her family from implosion and crushing debt persuades her husband and children to sign up for a state-run programme focusing on European integration, dubbed "Lessons of Tolerance". In accordance with this programme, they have to house an LGBT representative and activist in their home for a certain period of time. Now the family is forced to grapple with their own homophobia and their rejection of “otherness”.
A Picture to Remember
Producer
An essay-style account of the war from the perspective of three generations of women - those of the director, her mother, and that of her grandmother. Originally from Donetsk - an industrial city in eastern Ukraine - the family was uprooted in 2014 when the Russian war against Ukraine first commenced. By 2022, the same enemy once again began knocking on the door of their new home -which was now in Kyiv- and once again destroyed everything that the family had worked so hard to rebuild. Thrown into the limbo of exile, the director (she is also the narrator of the film) dives into a kaleidoscope of memories and chronicles both her personal and collective familial search for something to hold on to amid these turbulent times.
Unwanted People
Producer
By night, Liudmyla works as a toilet cleaner in a fashionable music club where she meets obnoxious and spoiled people who disrespect her because of her job. During the day time she looks after her husband, who is sick with Alzheimer disease. The contrast between her professional life, in close proximity to the very rich and their over the top surroundings, and the modest manner in which she lives her life slowly leads Liudmyla to a mental break-down. The only amusement or release that she has - is her platonic attraction towards an angelic and sexy women singer - who herself has no interest towards Liudmyla whatsoever. When Liudmyla can't bare this dull routine any longer, she begins to fantasize that she can run away from her responsibilities toward her husband, to leave him in the "swarm" of other "unwanted people".
