Ukrainian film events #1 x Ventilator Cinema
Ventilator and Ґanok present the first event in a new series showcasing independent Ukrainian cinema. This edition centers on the mockumentary film form - films that blur documentary and fiction, blending humour, absurdity and historical archives as a way of navigating post-Soviet recovery realities, memory and the early years of Ukrainian independence.
A fundraiser will be introduced during the event. Ticket proceeds and funds collected on-site will be allocated to Ukrainian volunteer initiatives supporting frontline needs.
Screenings:
Hedgehog Cakes: Sweet Weapon of Terror ‘20 (2025) — an absurdist, unsettling dive into the collective totalitarian world of Stalin's hysteria and cultural myth-making directed by Zhenia Stepanenko.
Nail ‘32 (2016) — a fictional documentary by Fіlіp Sotnichenko about the Kyiv family’s emigration to Switzerland in the first fragile years of Ukrainian independence.
