Commissioned 360° videos

 

School on the Frontline (UNICEF)

For UNICEF, we filmed a short documentary about the remnants of active hostilities of the war in Donbas. Shells and mines are no less a threat to the civilian population than direct attacks and shelling by insurgents. At this very moment, about half a million children remain in need of humanitarian aid in Eastern Ukraine.

Sasha Myronenko and his mother Tetiana describe how the life in Troitske village changed. Dilapidated building of secondary school became the symbol of how lives of locals were torn apart by the war.  

Role: Videographer, Co-director.

Anne of Kyiv (Centre Anne de Kyiv, Senlis, France)

We filmed unique shots in different parts of the ancient French city of Senlis and got into the usually inaccessible zones of Saint Sophia's Cathedral in Kyiv to explore the life path of Anne of Kyiv, the princess of Kievan Rus and the French queen. 

Role: Project Lead.

Malanka (personal project)

During the whole year the village of Krasnoilsk in Ukraine, close to the Romanian border, is hardly different from other villages in the country. But once a year, on the eve of January 14, the village turns into an open-air festival. This is when the Malanka celebration starts. People dress as Gypsies and Bears and walk the streets singing traditional Romanian songs, and dance to live music or sounds of wooden mace hitting the ground. 

Role: Videographer, Director, Producer.
