Porcelain War

"Amidst the brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine, three artists – Slava Leontyev, Anya Stasenko, and Andrey Stefanov – defiantly find beauty and purpose in their art while defending their culture and country. As soldiers wage war against civilians, the artists stay behind, taking up their cameras, art, and even weapons for the first time. Despite daily shelling, Anya channels resistance into her art. On tiny porcelain figurines, which are brought to life through stunning animation, she and Slava depict their idyllic past, uncertain present, and hopes for the future. Andrey risks his life to save his family and films their journey, while Slava trains civilians to fight.

This breathtaking documentary is a story of resilience and healing in the face of war."
