ITALIAN PREMIERE

Ukrainian reality is divided into two periods – before and after the war. In the nationwide resistance, every citizen tries to be helpful. Ukrainians change professions and adapt to wartime needs. Sculptors fabricate anti-tank obstacles in their art workshops. Just like the Terracotta Army, silent figures of Ukrainian personalities, angels, Cossacks, and multiple copies of Jesus Christ are frozen in anticipation of new creations. Craftsmen weld metal defense items for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Liturgy of Anti-Tank Obstacles was screened at Toronto, Sarajevo and Doclisboa.
