These screenings are a part of the project ART AGAINST PROPAGANDA, which opposes Russian propaganda worldwide.

ABOUT THE MOVIE

Bucha

BUCHA is a feature drama film based on actual events in Bucha, Vorzel, and Hostomel (Kyiv region) during the Russian occupation in the first months of the war in February-March 2022. The main character is a foreigner who decided to fight against Russia's evil aggression in Ukraine, a country that became his home.

The film tells about the rescue of local residents by Konstantin Gudauskas, a citizen of Kazakhstan who received asylum in Ukraine and lived in Bucha. When the Russian invasion began, he was allowed to cross into the territory occupied by Russian troops because of his Kazakh passport. Once there, he was able to extract Ukrainian civilians out of the occupied territory into safety. Konstantin not only saved people, but also became an eyewitness to all the horrors of war and occupation.

The main roles in the film BUCHA were played by the famous Polish theater and film actor Cezary Lukaszewicz and Ukrainian film star Vyacheslav Dovzhenko.

The film BUCHA directed by Stanislav Tiunov and the film's producer and screenwriter is Oleksandr Shchur.

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the State Border Service of Ukraine, the National Police of Ukraine, the Kyiv City Council, the Kyiv Regional Military Administration and the largest Ukrainian film studio Film.UA Group, assisted the team in creating and shooting the film and also act as co-producers and distributors of the film.

In 2023, the film was showcased at some of the most influential global film events. It was featured at a special event dedicated to the film at the European Film Market of the Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale) in February of that year. The film also had separate screenings in New York and Boston. In early September, the film's work materials were presented at the 80th Anniversary International Film Festival in Venice, La Biennale di Venezia, as well as at the Toronto International Film Festival.
