This is a third party event organized by the Ukrainian Canadian Film Community (UCFC). The content of this screening/event is the sole responsibility of the organizer.


Presented by the Ukrainian Canadian Film Community (UCFC) with support from Saint Javelin.

From the Academy Award®–winning creators of 20 Days in Mariupol, 2000 Meters to Andriivka reveals the human cost of the Russia–Ukraine war through an unflinching, intimate lens.

Filmmaker Mstyslav Chernov and Associated Press colleague Alex Babenko embed with a Ukrainian brigade fighting to reclaim the occupied village of Andriivka—advancing just two kilometers through a forest fortified by war. Their footage offers a rare, frontline perspective on what it means to fight not for territory, but for survival, dignity, and the hope of returning home.

Blending frontline cinematography, soldier body-camera footage, and moments of reflection, the film captures the courage, trauma, and resilience of those who fight for every inch of home. Chernov’s characteristic clarity and restraint deepen the emotional weight of each moment, inviting viewers to witness the war beyond headlines and numbers.

In English, Ukrainian and Russian, with English subtitles.
