Songs of Slow Burning Earth | Olha Zhurba | 95' | UKR
Premiering at the Venice Film Festival and winner of two awards at the prestigious Docs Against Gravity, this second feature by Ukrainian director Olha Zhurba takes us on a sensory journey through the frontlines and rear of the war in Ukraine—territories we all know but have never experienced in this way. Songs of Slow Burning Earth becomes an absolutely essential film for the historical moment we are living through.
