VESNA: International Media Review 👀
Following the world premiere of VESNA at Festival de Cannes, we have been moved by the reception our film has received. Today, we are sharing some of what the international press is saying about VESNA. Our favorites are from Le Monde and Slate.fr.

⭐️ Mathieu Macheret for Le Monde:
“A film that recalls the best of Italian neorealism — a cinema of occupation and resistance Europe hasn’t seen since the postwar era.”

⭐️ Jean-Michel Frodon for Slate:
“The debut film by young Ukrainian filmmaker Rostislav Kirpichenko is the necessary counterpart to that of Zvyagintsev. Given the power of its direction and the precision of its subject matter, one might even regret that it is not in competition as well.”

У межах 79-го Каннського Міжнародного Кінофестивалю відбулася прем’єра фільму «Весна» режисера Ростислава Кірпіченка. Захід відкрив генеральний директор фестивалю Тьєррі Фремо.

Під час прем’єри Ростислав Кірпіченко подякував творчій команді, акторам, копродюсерам та всім, хто долучився до створення стрічки. Водночас режисер наголосив, що цей вечір є не лише святом кіно, а й нагадуванням про трагедію війни в Україні — про людей, які залишаються в окупації, військових на передовій та представників української кіноіндустрії, які загинули, захищаючи свободу України.

На сцені також була присутня акторка Анастасія Пустовіт, яка виконала одну з головних ролей у фільмі.

«Весна» — це історія про молодого священника Андрія в окупованому росіянами містечку на південному сході України. Його церкву окупанти перетворюють на морг для страчених українських цивільних. Попри смертельну небезпеку, Андрій починає таємно повертати тіла загиблих їхнім родинам. У центрі сюжету — тихий спротив, людська гідність і зв’язок, який виникає між священником та одинадцятирічним хлопчиком Макаровим, що стає мовчазним свідком його боротьби.

У своїй промові режисер також висловив віру в силу людяності, єдність демократичного світу та надію на майбутнє України.

Українське кіно продовжує звучати на міжнародній арені, розповідаючи світові правду про війну, силу духу та боротьбу за свободу.

Режисер, сценарист: Ростислав Кірпіченко
Оператор-постановник: Вілюс Мачюльскіс
Продюсери: Хелена Покорни, Стасіс Балтакіс

May 18 – the World Premiere of VESNA at the 79th Festival de Cannes 🇫🇷🇺🇦🇱🇹🇪🇪

In winter, a small town in Russian-occupied south-eastern Ukraine. A priest forced to store executed civilians in his church-turned-morgue secretly returns their bodies to their families. As liberation nears, preserving proof of war crimes outweighs saving his own life.

Real stories take time to tell. Director Lasse Linder reflects on the recent months of filming — a period that reignited his passion for filmmaking.

In his own words: "Five years in the making, the feature documentary TRANSLATING LOVE is taking shape 🤍 The past two months of filming in Kyiv and Phoenix reminded me why I fell in love with filmmaking in the first place 🤍 I’m endlessly grateful for my brave, thoughtful, and very cute crew 🤍 Thank you for everything".

It was an honor to have you in Kyiv! Thank you for the trust and the incredible energy on set. Proud to be part of this project!
