Intercepted by Oksana Karpovych
Ukraine | 2024 | Documentary | 95’
+ Panel discussion “Torn Worlds: Disinformation and the Challenge of Sources in the Russian War of Aggression against Ukraine”
In cooperation with Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung
“Intercepted” explores landscapes and mindscapes of war, showcasing two parallel worlds. It features serene images of destroyed Ukrainian villages after de-occupation, contrasting them with wiretapped phone conversations from 2022 between Russian soldiers and their families. We listen to fragments from an opressive audio archive of moral depravity and war crimes while watching images that bear witness to destruction, but also to liberation and resilience. Thus, “Intercepted” forces us to question our perception of images of war and challenges us to face evidence.

As Russia begins a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, video artist, film director and active member of Babylon'13 team Roman Liubyi attempts to return home to be with his daughter, wife and parents. Roma was working in London when the Ukrainian conflict rapidly escalated with Russia's massive army rolling across the border of his home. He decides to return to his family, whose town soon becomes a battlefield. While they take shelter in basements, cut off from the rest of their country by encircling Russian forces, Roma joins an air intelligence unit, operating drones to locate the whereabouts of the invading force, but also to find those surviving in the most desperate conditions.
