Special Screenings | UKRAINIAN VOICES
MEGOGO

7-11.09

The program will be available September 7-11 online on MEGOGO

For the first time in the last years at the LINOLEUM festival, Ukrainians will talk about what unites them instead of competing. A memorial service for the past and hopes for the future, yearning for love and thirst for life, an endless war, and many questions to the world - all these issues are raised in the works by professional Ukrainian animators and those who are just starting their way in animation. Today, when Ukrainian artists have become soldiers, volunteers and joined the Territorial Defence, we strive to be heard in our struggle for freedom more than ever. "Ukrainian Voices" is about animation as a weapon that helps share our stories with the world.

Running time 25 min.
