TRENCHES
France 2021 – Director: Loup Bureau – Original language: Russian, Ukrainian – Subtitles: English – Length: 85 min.
An explosion. The picture shakes. Another one and it goes dark. We experience the “last conflict on European soil” up close and how wearing this is for the Ukrainian soldiers on the front line in Donbas. In aesthetic black and white images, Loup Bureau accompanies his protagonists in their everyday lives in the trenches. Ute Bolmer
We present the German premiere of the film.
