Den Dobrovoltsya
In recent weeks, intense warfare in Ukraine has created a post-apocalyptic scenario that has seen thousands of Kyivans living in subway stations. The capital city’s previously calm suburbs have been transformed into battle zones of destruction and looting by their Russian occupiers. People no longer consider their lives in terms of ‘workdays’ or ‘weekends’, instead counting the number of days since Russia’s full-scale invasion of their country. Babylon’13 collective’s film presents one of these days, witnessed by a pop music star, video engineer, historian, art restorer, polar researcher and pensioner, who have all been forced to radically change and re-evaluate their lives.
