The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art (UIMA) continues to champion this powerful message by presenting the critically acclaimed film Bucha.

Screenwriter and producer Oleksandr Shchur will be in attendance for a Q&A.

Based on true events, Bucha tells the story of a man determined to save lives as the horrors of Russian occupation are brought to light.

In Ukrainian with English subtitles.

Bucha is a feature drama based on the harrowing events that took place in Bucha, Vorzel, and Hostomel (Kyiv region) during the Russian occupation in the early months of the full-scale war in 2022. The film follows the journey of Konstantin Gudauskas, a Kazakhstani citizen who found asylum in Ukraine and made Bucha his home. Faced with the horrors of war, Konstantin takes a stand against Russian aggression, leading Ukrainian civilians to safety. Through his courageous actions, Konstantin not only saves lives but also bears witness to the devastating realities of occupation.

Join us at UIMA for this important cinematic experience that highlights the resilience of the Ukrainian people in the face of adversity.
