Eastern Front (Shidniy front), dir. Yevhen Titarenko, Vitaly Mansky, 98’, Latvia/Ukraine/Czech Republic/USA, 2023
On February 24, 2022, Yevhen went to the front and began to record everything that surrounded him: his own feelings, tens of thousands of refugees, the friends with whom he went to war. Yevhen is a member of the “Hospitallers” volunteer medical battalion that provides first aid on the front line and evacuates the wounded. This mobile unit is the main character in the film, which documents six months full of drama, despair, fear, hatred, bitterness, love and, most importantly, faith in victory.
