About
The 14th Gwangju Biennale Ukrainian Pavilion
“History is inspiring. You will never lose heart after learning what humanity has gone through.”
Oleksandr Palii, Ukrainian historian
 
Ukrainians have changed the flow of history several times with their brave and creative spirit and desire for democracy for over 1,000 years since the era of Kyivan Rus, a powerful state of the Middle Ages.
Although it had to spend a long time trying to regain its history, Ukraine finally achieved its independence in 1991 and chose to follow the path to become a modern and dynamic country in Europe.
The country's struggle for freedom continues today to get away from the colonialism of Russia. On the contrary, Ukrainian arts are flourishing and it has a vibrant civic society as well as enriched media environment.

Although the country was founded after the massacre, Ukraine provides a diverse and vivid combination of culture, nationality, tradition, and achievements, contributing to creating a world of multiple cultures and tolerance.
The Ukraine War which began with the invasion of Russia in February, 2022, put everything at risk. Ukrainian cities are destroyed, people are killed or expelled. Accordingly, the world is losing parts of priceless European culture.

For Ukrainians, it is important that other countries recognize this. There is an old civilization behind the face of this young independent state that is currently in crisis.
To us, returning to our roots means awakening to responsibility that lasted for 1,000 years, not the 31-year modern history.

And we are ready to fight for that.

Find out about the journey to freedom of Ukraine through its modern movies.

Program
<Carol of The Bells>
2021 | 122 min. | Drama, history | Age 15 or older
The peaceful and neighborly existence of three families, Polish, Ukrainian and Jewish is shattered by the war. Under the Soviet occupation, the Polish family gets persecuted, then, under the Nazi occupation of Ukraine, the Jewish family gets decimated. Sacrificing their lives, the Ukrainian family manage to save their neighbors' children and their own daughter. Children continue to sing and keep the spirit of the lyrics of <Carol of the Bells> as it connects the destiny amidst the fear of death and ordeals.
* Immortalized as one of the most scintillating and enlightening Christmas songs, <Carol of the Bells> adapted from a popular Ukrainian folk melody, came to represent the spirit of brotherhood and unity all over the world.
<Mariupol. Unlost Hope>
2022 | 62 min. | Documentary | Age 12 or older
Director: Maksim Litvinov
This documentary depicts the story of three women who managed to survive in the hell of Mariupol under a siege, being bombarded during the first month of the Russian invasion. One of them lost her son, the other lost her house and job, and the last one gave birth to her child at a gynecology clinic destroyed by Russian bombing attacks. A journalist, Nadia Sukhorukova, served as a narrator. She was there when the city was being bombarded by Russian forces and when the citizens were fleezing the city.
<Toloka>
2019 | 116 min. | Adapted screenplay, classic | Age 15 or older
Director: Mihaylo Illienko
It is an adaptation of the poem of a popular Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko about three Cossacks who fell in love with Catherine. Catherine promises to get married to a man who saves her brother, who is currently a prisoner of war. Two of them died trying to rescue her brother, and the last one succeeds in rescuing him. However, it turns out that the one who was rescued was her lover, not his brother. For over 100 years, Catherine lost her home several times due to major events and ordeals in Ukrainian history. But she is stubborn, as many generations of Ukrainians, rebuilding her house out of shattered pieces. Although her home was destroyed every time when a war broke out, she was able to keep her place to meet the person she loved thanks to toloka.
*Toloka is a Ukrainian custom that people join hands together to harvest, cut trees, and build a house or church, or help their neighbors.
