Note of Defiance
Documentary
Jury's Citation • 2024
15 min
Greenbay, WI, USA
Filmed in early 2023, on the Ukrainian-Russian border, “Note of Defiance” explores two artists' use of art as a means of cultural survival. In Kharkiv, Ukraine, attacks on civilian centers have forced cultural sites to close. The Kharkiv State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre is one of the biggest cultural sites in the city forced to close due to these attacks. These two featured performers provide concerts and lessons anywhere they can; from parking garages to bomb shelters.
