OPENING FILM: AWAY – world premiere

directed by Ruslan Fedotow, Hungary - Belgium - Portugal, 2022, 28 min., in Ukrainian with English and Hungarian subtitles

Andrii and Alisa, Ukrainian teenagers, have escaped the shelling of their native Kharkiv to Budapest. They hold after-school drawing classes for Ukrainian refugee children, and await news from their families back home. News reports and phone calls with family bring the harsh everyday reality of the war into their lives, while their street art protest engages and provokes the passersby.

The screening is followed by a discussion with the director, moderated by Oksana Sarkisova, Festival Director.

The evening will end with a reception at Trafó’s café.
