last year, i also know the position of foreign sales agents and distributors, they still wonder why it is a problem for us that they sell films to russia or to what they call the post-soviet region, that's why it's still a work in progress, which we still need to do, endlessly, constantly explain, explain why this all has to change. here we are, i was talking about this tape that was shown on a british tv channel, and we also talked about it quite a lot on social networks, about when the author went to the russian military and made a film about them, and two excellent reviews appeared on this tape, how popular is the opinion at film festivals that you really need to listen to both sides, and is this opinion being corrected in any way?

because it used to be, or is it changing , and well, in berlin it is traditionally a highly politicized festival and a festival that, in principle, consciously immerses itself in various political and social problems, and they are quite knowledgeable, especially the forum program, which this year already takes place under directed by barbara wurm. everyone who works in cinema, and especially in documentary cinema, everyone remembers and knows barbara vurma, the fact that she was one of the first to join the support of ukraine, ukrainian filmmakers, she helped hold various discussions about ukraine, about ukrainian cinematography and so on and so on, she is very active, she understands everything, she supports us with her whole body, that 's why, in principle, as long as you find. here are these

bubbles of the berlinale forum and the berlinale in general, then it is as if these issues do not exist, if to go outside this bubble, of course there are all these questions, everyone always wonders why ukrainian filmmakers do not want, for example, that their films be shown alongside the films of russian opposition documentarians, cinematographers, that is, all these questions... they really do not go anywhere shared, on the other hand, observing the development of relations with israeli and palestinian filmmakers, it seems to me that we have done a great job, as the ukrainian and our cinematographic community, and what, at least on the surface, is now inviting russians to official programs is a mevithon, this is our great... achievement,

that is, in principle , there is already some official position in the world film community that russians should not officially be in film programs, in the programs of film markets, and so on, but the personal opinions of everyone actors, yes, all members of this world cinema community, that's another matter, but officially the position is this, and it's a great achievement, because it... not all national communities succeed, well, really, it's been two years very such powerful work, we all remember, especially in social networks, how we constantly discussed whether to go to the same site with the russians or not, we discussed all this for a very, very long time, well, as we can see, the result is indeed certain, and daria regarding in general, fils, which will be interesting to foreigners, because they are constantly watching...

for two years, a little, maybe less, i hear from various different cinematographers, especially from those who filmed entertainment content before that, who filmed series that were not immersed war, in the war, they have some such the idea is fixed, as it seems to me, we want to make a film that will be interesting in the world, we want to influence the world audience, we have made a film, it must be seen in the world, and i am watching some. tape , and i understand that it will obviously not be interesting to the foreign audience there at the festivals, it is for the domestic audience, and that is why i want to ask you exactly how the producers are, and is there any difference at all between these tapes for export and for the domestic audience, which films are mostly watched by ukrainians, and which ones will be interesting on the contrary and - well effective at festivals and at international shows, is there a difference between these categories?

films, well, to be honest, i think that good cinema and talented cinema, it is always interesting in different markets, and it remains so, you can take the example of mavka, which... was very successful both in ukraine and abroad, you can take the example of 20 days in mariupol, which we are currently seeing, it is a super hypersuccess, and this film was nominated by ukraine, and for the oscar, yes, and eh, besides, it also did very well at the box office in ukraine, so i i always adhere to the opinion that good cinema works everywhere in any markets, although of course there are... some exceptions, when for some very local contexts, yes, which are not understandable to foreign viewers, on the other hand, here, for example, we have now premiered the editorial, there is a lot of specific humor and jokes, which are immersed in our

ukrainian context, and we were not sure that the german, in general, world audience would read it all, all shows are sold out and everywhere people laugh a lot, the audience. perceives very well, understands all these jokes, so here is also such an example, it shows that a talented product, talented films, they are like that, and that's why you just have to look, it seems to me, at some specific examples, the examples that i see, they still prove that success is both international and local, they are connected, as before were in 2018, when they just announced this patriotic... pitching at the ministry of culture, pitching for patriotic films, for a very long time everyone could not understand what patriotic cinema is, define patriotic cinema, they somehow came together, and the then minister of culture yevhen neschuk did all that agreed that patriotic cinema is good cinema, well, obviously, cinema that can influence

foreign audiences is also good cinema, and i have one last question for you, in general, we talked about this recently with other cinematographers. in general, how normal it is now, from the point of view of art, and, from the point of view of the production of a good film intelligent, how okay is it to think about this influence, to sit there at the beginning of filming and think, yes, we should probably make a movie on this topic, so that it will be well received there, for example, in germany by the germans, and it will somehow convince this audience, is it not possible to do this, because it is propaganda and it does not work? in general, if we are really talking about non-propaganda, about good cinema, well, i am here right away, probably such a remark that i am from the world of auteur cinema, not non-commercial, fortunately or unfortunately, but eh, we always work this way , that we

, we, we don't, we don't really think at the beginning, what a certain audience needs, we rather try to feel, uh, uh,... what worries us, feel the time and try to express it all through the means of cinema, and then, of course, after in the process of creating a film, in the process of working on it, of course, we always think about the audience too, we try to understand and calculate the audience of this particular film and market the film and so on and so on, all these marketing plans and strategies, that's all an integral part of the work of any producer, but the primary motive... and impulse is always this effort to capture the feeling and the effort to understand who we are, who our people are, and why this is happening to us and how with all this to be, and i, well, this is such a very sincere impulse that comes from the depths of the soul, and

i believe, i am sure that it is precisely such impulses that later find a real response in the audience both in ukraine and around the world. and some mathematical formulas or works to order, in my opinion, they do not work very well. well, yes, we know that cinema is a very unpredictable thing, a very, very risky business, and even in commercial cinema, this mathematical miscalculation may not always work. and daria, the last question, is it known when ukrainian viewers will be able to watch peaceful people, because they already want to watch this film, they are already asking for it, but it will have to wait, i understand. yes , we will have to wait, but not very long , i don't have official announcements yet, i can't announce, unfortunately, but there will be very soon, and in fact, in a few months or two, we will show the film in ukraine, we are also planning a cinema distribution with this film , but

we will report everything very soon, well we will also report, i really hope that you will have a good box office, because really, really this is a film that has interested, as i see it not ... only the audience of traditional documentaries or author's film, and it's been more than a year, so i'm interested in watching it. daria, thank you very much, daria basel was in direct contact with us, the producer. the film peaceful people by oksana karpovich and the film redaction by roman bondarchuk, which were shown at the berlin film festival, and these films really caused a stir. let me remind you that peaceful people, the film is a documentary , which shows, first of all, the completely different conditions in which ukrainians find themselves, but with such a soundtrack to this film, there are intercepted conversations of the russian military. i think that you do not need to remind that they were talking there and it is not necessary to say how much it could

search the foreign public, who did not know that such conversations could happen between people at all. well, that's all, my friends, i bid you farewell, until next saturday, stay with espresso. there are 15% discounts on mukaltin in podorozhnyk pam and oskad pharmacies. turn on the investigation from which the heart is cold. the new chapter of the hbo series is already on me. a true detective. find out what secrets the alaskan ice hides. exclusive to meego subscription. professional cream against fix - this extra strong fixation for all types of dentures. it is applied to wet prostheses. protefix. german quality. at an affordable price. there are discounts on fervex of 15% in psyllanyk, bam and oskad pharmacies. a separate set of

volonterska charity fund was born. subsequently, his team focused on helping residents of villages far from kharkiv, where other volunteer missions do not reach. during such trips , they got to know many farmers of the region. they said that farms suffer the most from the mining of the territory, because it makes agricultural work impossible. about how the inhabitants of slobozhanshchyna adapt to life in the new realities that she invented volunteer yua, to support local farmers and why demining is one of the key steps to restore life in the de-occupied settlements of the region, says charity fund volunteer maryam yol. my name is meriya, miriam, if that's my full name, i'm currently a volunteer of the volunteer foundation. as. did the voluntary yua charity fund come into existence? oh, we're in,

usually, when students came here, and we 're in the school of marketing and communication baggage, i'm saying this, and it's hard for me to say it, because it's not really that anymore. for many years, probably since 2009, well , physically this city did not yet exist, but since 2009 there has been a school in kharkiv, communications, marketing, it is called baggage. i work in it. from the 14th year, and we went to this place about seven years ago, probably, i don't remember anymore, eh, and there were always such non-stop stories about new experiences, about new impressions, about inspiration, about lecturers , about students, about homework, about teamwork , about some parties, and about the books in the library behind me, which you probably don't see, but there were books there, and now there is a political medicines, and all this lost the meaning

of its existence on the 24th, and our team partly and other people, well, it smoothly flowed into becoming a volunteer hub, a volunteer foundation, and now we are not in the premises of the bogazh school, in the hub of the volunteer foundation , volunteer. what is fon working on? the directions in which we... we are engaged, they changed a lot according to the requests that appeared, it seems to me that we are very adjale in our approach to work. when everything started, when a full-scale invasion began and we stayed in kharkiv, before us a lot of people joined, the most important problem was to give people what they don't have access to, it was food, it was hygiene, it was medicine, it was some basic

necessities, basic necessities, that's how it was, probably in the city. about three months until the summer, until the first deoccupation took place in the kharkiv region, in the nearest villages, there were cherkasy lozyva, russian lozyva. then a lot of funds that were working at that time, they covered up this activity, and we decided that we will not stop and we will continue for six months, three months, sorry, all summer, non-stop, every day, we transported all these... sets around the city after that it was september of the 22nd year, the de-occupation happened, and we did the same thing, but all over the kharkiv region, all over the de-occupied areas districts, straight in different directions, i don't know, any settlement that you could hear, we were there, we have a map, we, when the deoccupation happened, well, i've lived in

kharkiv all my life, but i'm there i knew three villages and that was all, and so were all the members. where we briefly printed out such a map, which means we hung it up and highlighted with a marker where we were, in short, we did it for three weeks, and then we realized that no, if we isolate everything, everything will just be multi-colored, and we just stopped, de-occupation and all these things somewhere for another six months, that is, autumn and winter, and in parallel with food, hygiene, medicine, we added some things like if the massive shelling started, which was then, and the lights went out. or , for example, where there is an occupation and there is no electricity, there are piled-up stuccoes and that's all, we made generators, if it's cold in winter and something like that is needed there, we made small pots, thermal power plant and so on, if in vovchanchansk , a city near the border with russia , at some point after the deoccupation, russia cut off the gas supply to them, because historically it happened that the gas went from there, and the people

who stayed there, who had, well there were... these stoves, they just stopped being able to cook, and we took about 700 or so electric stoves there, that is, there is some new, new something, a new problem, and we are responding to it, i don’t know, it happened in kherson, speaking of the 23rd year, we went there in the spring i wanted to, well, from time to time we have normal volunteers who just don't... it seems to me that we are normal volunteers, i call on all volunteers who now hear me doing only this and in general any people, don't do something simple , because you 're used to doing that, well, like, you have to turn on your brain, you have to do some kind of constant research, you have to find out new needs, well , because if we don't do that, we 'll just do something for the sake of doing, uh, and in march, we went to different villages

to see, talk to people, with representatives of... local authorities, just with random people in order to hear different things, we realized that, in principle , everything is better for them, but they have no work and there is no such thing - well, that kind of meaning, i don't know life, because that , what people did in the villages and small towns in the region, it's work with hands, it 's work with the earth, and a lot of things are mined, for example, we have such an area near the old saltiv, there - we make a big one, and there there was a lot of tourism, you could rent a house there, you could sail on a yacht, well, in short a lot of everything, and it's also not a very touristic area now, and in short, people couldn't seem to return to life, but after the war started, there was de-occupation, there was de-occupation, some kind of shock, the first such things, but time goes by

and we have to go back somehow, and this is our research from march, it led us to the idea that we should... give them not fish, but a fishing rod, and we transported, we had a huge seed project, we imported seeds for more than 600 households , well, for such small farm gardens, in short, the entire space, in where we are now, it is about 300 m2, we are probably three weeks old, well, imagine, you have such a carrot, i don't know. tomato, there was something else, everyone packed, packed, packed, packed, packed and delivered, and it was really wow, because people had a great time, and we really physically returned them to... to what they were doing in their lives, before the full-scale one took place. after that, we realized that everything was already warmer, we

thought about what we want to do next, and what we need to do, and realized that there are regional, not where there is an offensive, not where it is loud, in which it has been almost a year at that moment, it is calm, well, there are some mini stories, but in general it is quiet there, and it is possible to restore it there. and we started a huge construction campaign, starting in june, we took the izyum district, as the one where now, well , most calmly, we are not interested in dealing with some villages and settlements very close to the city, because, for example, international funds come there, i think everybody knows, they, they have safety guides in there, they buckle up in the back seat, very far from the occupation and... these are all things that are incomprehensible to me, in short, they will arrive, there are 30 km from the city 10, and there 140 to a village that is not on the map, there is no signpost, and that's all no,

and that's why we go there we arrived, we started with izyum, how about such a test, because it is simpler, at the time when we were taking roofs to private houses in izyum, we were the first fund that went there without talking. we, no, i don't know, the mission, not yet with something there, but with a really physically slate, rebiroid, throws, whistles and so on, after that in we had the village of dovgenka, which we helped to rebuild, the village of studnok, the village of yeremivka, yesterday we took it away and this saturday we are starting to restore three more villages of małokyšuvac state, also in zyum district, to restore topolska, malaka myshuvaha and brashkivka, these... roofs, these windows, this , something without which the house will not survive its second winter, because even when we look at

the slate and see there, well, there is a little crack there, this is how our eyes perceive it, if we are not related to construction, but i never type at all was not, but when you enter the house has a little bit of something there somewhere and you just look at the mountain ceiling and realize that you don't have a ceiling, you have mold. and along the wall you have a deformation of the house and one more winter and it will all be demolished and nothing can be restored, in short we have to start from the head, so we start with these roofs and windows. as a team of volunteers, it was the first time to get to slabozhansk village of dovgenke. how did we find ourselves in dovgenky for the first time? we have a manager alyona. alyona knows all the elders of all districts. heads of communities of all military personnel administrations, in short, everyone, if you need , anyone, alyona knows this, and alyona once

sent a request from some village, even two villages of the izyum district, here it should be noted that we did not actively go to the izyum district, because we do not go to the place where everyone goes, because a lot was said about the city of izyum in the press and... a lot of volunteers went there and we deliberately chose a different direction, we have been working here for six months after the deoccupation, it is march 23rd and she brings such questions, we are what she says, there are two villages, that means kamianka and dovgenka, a pebble on the highway, when you leave izyum, how to go to donetsk region, there is such a big one there, and this second village is also dovgenka, they say that you need lanterns there. there is no light there, some kind of medicine is needed there , but let’s talk, because before the construction came, specifically in my life, there were medicines that i didn’t understand either,

but that’s how i had to learn all this, in short, we call a representative from village, she tells us that we don't have, more precisely, they don't have anything from medicine, everything is crushed, well, in short this whole story, we find out what you need, understand what pills are there... we definitely won't do any harm, we collect this first aid kit for each family there in one, in the other, and send our volunteers there, my husband, bohdan, was driving, he comes back that day, with eyes like what i just saw, here i have to say one more thing, it was a moment from time to time, i think all volunteers have such a moment when you do, do, do, and then you're very tired and you don't see the point in this and... you have such a crisis right there, and we had such a moment, it's been six months, we've been driving every day with these sets, but now we're in a crisis, and in short, he comes back and says,

i don't understand what we... did before that, why did we do it, because there is such a village there that, well, that's all before that, it doesn't seem to make sense , we listen to him, we believe him, but until you see it with your own eyes, you don't understand what 's happening, in short, if kam' yanka is a village on the highway, which passes through and there are all these delegations, anyone, who went to izyum or donetsk region, they came and you saw, this is a village that doesn’t exist, it’s just impossible to get there for a long time, because you left izyum, you’re going to donetsk region and there’s some kind of... gate in the field in izyum ’s most replaceable district, and you’ll never go back there, if you’re sure you do not know that you are there. he says, i go to the village, and here there are plantings , yes, they often look like this near the front line, when there are such charred pieces of trees, it is march, there is no green yet, he says, and there are just such sticks, well, there are no trees , and there are sticks, sticks, sticks, and he says, i...

a dump is just a pile of some kind of stones some windows, some kind of candy, but there is a wrapper and it is facing this way, she says, this way, this way, some fences are facing there, there is something else, and she says , if you didn't say that we have to go there, if you didn't get into my car from kamianka the representative of the village wouldn't have brought me there by the hand like that, i would never have thought that there were people here, and that's how we learned about the long story, learned about the fact that there are official data, and there are unofficial ones , but according to unofficial data, it changed hands for a long time 18 times, and there it reached the moment, when there is a street, and here were ours, here they were here for no reason, and they just exchanged fire and not a single shot was fired in the house at that time on march 23, there were none, at all, well, none, when i say

survivors, i mean that... there is , for example, a house there, which has no roof and broken windows, and it is not a survivor, but there are fewer of them, but there is dust, i don't know, there is a fire and after him, such a handful remains, well, such a handful were there, and even at that time, as far as this village was, it was more, well, i don’t know, close and all that, they didn't get to it just to clear something, just to clear mines somewhere, and this is the area in which you can't... take a step to the left or right, well, because if you do, you'll feel bad, in a long time we started building right away in august, it was very hot in kharkiv oblast in august, and dovgenke is a village where you build something in august, and once every 30 minutes, a petal explodes, because it is heated by the sun, it was +40, well, just constant, there i don't

know how... a petal is scattered under the chestnut tree and everywhere there is a side closer to donetsk region, there is a side closer to kharkiv region, and well, conditionally , like that, the fields are divided into ours, theirs, and they were supposed to enter from this side, and our supers heavily mined everything there, and therefore, to demine it, well, it takes a lot, a lot, a lot of time there is a... direction, when you drive, when you turn from the highway for about 5 km, there are cleats, it is not their cleats, not for a long time, but these cleats began to be demined and hung again, to tighten these wires in september 22 , and now, on october 23, we just finished hanging them, after the blimps there is, well, a kind of distribution there are already poles, i don't know how to call it correctly in the villages, and only then is there

electricity. and it must be understood that long before the full-scale invasion took place, this was a village that had gas, electricity , and water supplies, they had houses, we were repairing them, there was a bath there, well, just a bath in the village, that is not a hole, yes, a toilet in the ground, it’s just a full-fledged story, because there was a lot of farming in them, and another such, such a sad fact about the long, long, long time we in general... the area there are a lot of immigrants since the 14th year, who for the second time in their lives are faced with the reality of the existence of our neighbor, how did we get to know dovgenky, how do people live in dovgenky?
