I thought I was making a film about war. I was wrong,\u201d Hontaruk shares in a director\u2019s statement. \u201cWhen the Minsk agreements came and they returned home, I followed them back. And that is when the real film began. What I witnessed in the years that followed was a profound and painful journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She concludes: \u201cWhat began as a portrait of conflict became something I never expected: a film about transformation, about the long and difficult road back to oneself, about how stubbornly life insists on continuing even in the shadow of death. This is not really a film about war. It is about what war leaves inside people, and what they do with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While it is a \u201cdelicate\u201d doc, \u201cat its heart, it is life-affirming,\u201d Hontaruk says. \u201cBecause despite everything, despite all the loss and rupture and years of waiting, life has proven itself stronger than death. Again and again, I men choose it. That is the film I set out to make, even when I didn\u2019t know it yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=3245\">Disney\u2019s Live-Action \u2018Moana\u2019: First Reactions From Premiere<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watch a film trailer for Ukraine war documentary &#039;To Die to Live&#039; from director Yuliia Hontaruk, which premiered at Karlovy Vary 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3250,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2,945,1212,1213,269],"class_list":["post-3251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting","tag-international","tag-karlovy-vary-international-film-festival","tag-kviff","tag-kviff-2026","tag-ukraine"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
