Each year, LINOLEUM festival receives around 60 submissions from Ukraine. Unfortunately, not all of them make it to the competition selection. We aim to promote independent Ukrainian and international animation, so we created the NEW FACES programme this year. It will include films by promising Ukrainian authors who are already building the future of our animation nowadays. Different cities, techniques, stories. After the screening, we will talk with the authors about their work, the perspectives of animation in Ukraine and problems they face every day.
Running time 90 min.

Cherkasy, Ukraine | 00:49 | 2021This animation is one of the first works of this scale, not in terms of visual complexity or production, but rather when it comes to the theme and chronology. The topic was chosen based on the school task. I wanted to move away from the history of feminism, natural disasters and emotional burnout. I wanted to touch on something that people do not speak about. Nevertheless, this issue is vital in the CIS countries. This animation barely illustrates a tiny fraction of the global problem of the homeless, but it still tries to show images of them. Short scenes, lightly drawn characters, bright music – the combination of these elements produces an acceptable result in the form of a social video.
