The pre-premiere screening of the documentary Wounded Land will take place within the Lviv Art and Wine weekend. The film tells the stories of winemakers working to the sound of cannonades.
“This is a kind of road movie, filmed in April 2022, it is a story about Ukraine, through the prism of people from its various regions, who live and work to the sound of cannons and sirens. These are stories about winemakers, although not only, but all the heroes of the film work on Ukrainian land and, in fact, all use the potential of Ukrainian land, and winemaking has a certain symbolism here…
We started implementing the idea of a documentary film about the wine regions of Ukraine even before the large-scale war. But the incentive to film a new story was the shelling of vineyards in the Mykolaiv region, where the Russian invaders covered the vineyard of the private farm SliVino Village with rockets like rain, and the cynical destruction of a large warehouse of Wine Bureau wines. Later, the story about the broken WineIdea winery and the story of the Olbio Nuvo winery in the south of Ukraine were added, where the winemaker Pavlo Magalyas is at war and makes wine at the same time, and in addition, the winery has an antique museum and a museum with Russian missiles, which he collects in his vineyards. And these are far from all the heroes of the film,” — Roman Zayats, director and co-producer of the film, founder of the “Heart” project.
The film will be screened in Lviv on November 15 at “Planet Kino” (Forum Lviv Shopping Center) at 6:30 p.m.
