Directors Statement

The war in Ukraine deeply troubles me, because I was born and raised in the Ukrainian city of Dnipropetrovsk. My relatives still live there. My mother is buried there. It is not only I who am troubled by the war. I was walking down the street when I remembered the word svyato. In Russian it means ‘sacred’, but in Ukrainian it means ‘celebration’. So, we have something in common, with roots that go very deep.
