As the horrific attacks on the country and people of Ukraine, continue, the Encounters Film Festival has curated a programme to highlight, celebrate, and support Ukrainian filmmakers and artists. From a stylised sport drama to a funky animated short about the body expectations that mostly befall cisgender women, this programme reveals strong and unapologetic voices unafraid to make noise.
All box office receipts from this programme will go to the Ukrainian Red Cross:
