🎬 Songs of Slow Burning Earth
Directors: Olha Zhurba (Ukraine)
Ukraine / Denmark / Sweden / France | 2024 | 95 min
🗣️ Language: Ukrainian & Russian with English subtitles
An audiovisual diary of Ukraine’s immersion into two years of total war—Olha Zhurba captures landscapes, spare dialogues, sounds, and silences from varying proximities to the frontlines. The film traces the transformation from initial shock and horror into numb acceptance, offering an elegiac portrait of how war becomes normalized—and how a new generation still dares to imagine a future beyond destruction. This is not news footage; it’s quiet, poetic, and utterly unforgettable.
🎤 Q&A with film producer Anne Köhncke and a sociologist, activist and co-founder of the Norwegian-Ukrainian Advocacy Hub Nataliya Yeremeyeva.
🏆 Awards and recognition:
Jury Award for Best Film at the One World International Human Rights Film Festival, Winner of Best Film at the Riga International Film Festival; the Doc Future Award at Verzio International Documentary Film Festival; Best Film at Tertio Millennio Film Fest; Special Jury Award at Rome Documentary Film Festival.
