ANIMALS IN WAR / ВІЙНА ОЧИМА ТВАРИН

2025 / 98' / feature / Ukraine

This film anthology is dedicated to the war in Ukraine, with animals as its central protagonists.

Renowned filmmakers from Ukraine and abroad share thought-provoking stories based on true events, capturing the hardships animals endure during wartime. Unlike humans, animals are not tested for their humanity, nor do they carry political preferences – yet they instinctively distinguish between good and evil.

The film presents a wide range of characters, narratives, and genres, weaving together a compelling portrait of life in contemporary Ukraine.
