Alisa in Warland

ARTDOCFEST RIGA

When the Maidan revolution was starting out, Alice was 26. Like many other directors she began filming the important events that took place in her country. However, soon the distance between the camera and reality starts to shrink; life and death overshadow the filming process, and for the next two years Alice finds herself in the hottest conflict areas from Maidan in Kiev through the checkpoints of Slavyansk to the ruins of the Donetsk airport. This is a story of a Ukrainian girl who faces the difficult task of making decisions, just like most of her country’s citizens, when historic events unexpectedly break into your private life.
