I Will Laugh Despite My Tears!
Ukrainian short films screening fundraiser
11th November
14:00
Vsesvit is excited to announce a Ukrainian short film screening, `I Will Laugh Despite My Tears!`, a fundraising event which will take place at the legendary Phoenix Cinema!
A selection of short films curated by Kat Oleshko offers a glimpse into life in Ukraine before the full-scale Russian invasion. They portray hobbies, nature, folklore, and urban landscapes, exploring Ukraine's complex cultural tapestry. Through the lens of these films, we also reveal a life that exists no more. Some cities are already destroyed, and some are under occupation, but our culture and spirit remain unbreakable. We will continue to laugh despite our tears.

Dovecotes of Kyiv by Mykhailo Volkov
Metro-tram by Kateryna Yahodka
