Скачать или смотреть IN CONVERSATION: Yarema Malashchuk & Anri Vartanov | La Palisiada | Razom Cinema

As part of Ukrainian Cultural Festival, Razom Cinema team programmed a series of films that spotlight Ukrainian voice from various perspectives.

“La Palisiada” (Ukraine’s official submission to the OSCARS 2025) is Philip Sotnychenko’s meta-cinematic investigation into the alienated underbelly of post-Soviet Ukraine is a muted reckoning with a past that must be confronted before its insidious grip on the present can be loosened.

Philip Sotnychenko’s award-winning DV debut feature uncovers the hidden connections between the violence of the past and the present. Shot on raw DV cameras, “La Palisiada” centers around an investigation into the murder of a police colonel in 1996 that ultimately leads to the final execution to take place in independent Ukraine. Twenty five years later, a new generation of young Ukrainians are facing their own personal and political crises, with shocking consequences.

We had the pleasure to be joined by the lead actor Yarema Malashchuk (Philip’s close collaborator on various other projects) and Program Operations Coordinator at Metrograph Anri Vartanov. Get to know some behind the scenes insights of this production and look out for dates and location where to catch the film!
