Where Russia Ends by Oleksiy Radynskyi

In the late 1980s, a team of Ukrainian filmmakers undertook several film expeditions to remote areas of Siberia. Their forgotten film rolls were rediscovered in Kyiv in 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This fascinating archive is the starting point for a cinematic essay that addresses Russian imperialism, the exploitation of raw materials, environmental destruction, and the ongoing oppression and extermination of indigenous peoples in the remote areas of Siberia.

Explosions Near the Museum by Roman Khimei and Yarema Malashchuk

The Kherson Museum of Local Lore, which was looted by Russian occupation troops between October 24 and 26, 2022, once housed the largest and oldest collection of antiquities in southern Ukraine. Two weeks before the liberation of Kherson by the Ukrainians, Russian occupation troops carried out a strategic robbery in which the collection was stolen from the museum. The sound of shells and missiles was recorded during the shooting on December 12 in the museum, which is less than two kilometers from the Russian-occupied area.
