03:59However, at the same time, as a journalist, as a filmmaker, I would protest against the idea that the camera can be, or should be considered as a weapon.
04:11It is a shield of truth rather than a weapon, and it should remain so.
04:17As a journalist, as a filmmaker, it should not be a target.
04:21But as a Ukrainian, as a Ukrainian making films about Ukraine, being an international journalist, but also being Ukrainian,
04:30It is important for me to make films and stories not about politics, but about people, about my own community.
04:40People who, under different circumstances, be my fellow students.
04:44And that's what we talk about with them when we meet there on the battlefield, about how our university is a rebel university.
04:53Truck drivers, warehouse workers, policemen, you know, all the people who, if it wasn't for war, would be just part of my community.
05:04And the fact that they have guns, they have made a decision to take those guns to defend their home, doesn't make them a lesser part of their community.
05:18I feel that there is my obligation to acknowledge the sacrifice that my community is paid while defending my home.
05:31I think what we saw with, even with 20 Days in Mariupol, how Academy Awards and other awards that we received for it
05:41helped film to be seen and be heard.
05:48Because even some TV channels wouldn't want to take it or show it before we were nominated.
05:57Especially for the war films, especially for the films that are dealing with difficult topics, especially for the films that are not considered as entertainment.
06:07Those awards and those efforts to raise awareness about the film are vital to get to the audience.
06:16This is, you know, here has been more than a decade that this war is raging in Ukraine, that Russia invaded Ukraine.
06:25And every year it was harder and harder to break through the fatigue of people around the world from this topic.
06:37And so each award, each recognition helps to keep the attention on the film and what's important for me as a film director,
06:48but also what's important for Ukrainians as a nation.
06:51So, definitely helpful, definitely not just symbolic.
06:55As a journalist, again, as a film director, I have achieved everything I could have dreamed about.
07:02And right now for me it's just an opportunity to get to more people, to get a bigger audience,
07:09to speak more about what's important for us.
07:17I don't think there is a competition between the reality and the political reality.
07:23I think the efforts that are made and constantly being made around, in the political space, to stop the war,
07:32and some of these efforts were here in Turkey and they actually resulted in release of prisoners of war,
07:43which is amazing.
07:45It's a celebration for so many families.
07:49We do see results.
07:50We do see the importance of those conversations.
07:54And hopefully they will eventually lead to peace.
07:58But right now, if you go to the front line, if you go to cities that are very close to the front line
08:06and are constantly being bombed, you will see a lot of skepticism towards what we hear in the news
08:13and towards the political statements that are made by various international leaders.
08:19And it's not because they don't mean anything.
08:22It's just over the past year, very little of those statements, sometimes contradicting statements,
08:30I would say, have actually resulted into change on the front line for military or for civilians.
08:42And my task as a journalist and as a filmmaker is to, with my work, to inform not just regular audiences around the world,
08:53but also to inform politicians that make decisions about the reality of what's happening on the ground.
09:02And that's very important that they keep the awareness of that reality,
09:10that they don't get detached from the reality of the battlefield.
09:13They don't get detached from the humanitarian situation.
09:17Because when you are in those rooms, it is easy to forget.
09:23It is easy to forget that you are talking not about Ukrainians, for example,
09:30giving away thousands and thousands of kilometers of their land on the map.
09:37We are talking about displacing hundreds of thousands of people.
09:42We are talking about land, each meter of which is important for someone,
09:49because it's someone's home.
09:51It's someone's blood.
09:52It's someone's pain.
09:53I just want that reality to be closer.
09:57And that is why 2000 Meters to Andrivivka is called 2000 Meters to Andrivivka.
10:02It is a film about distance, but not just about distance between the beginning of that little forest
10:09squeezed between two minefields and leading to Andrivivka.
10:12But also a distance between the world and Ukraine.
10:19By now, more than 70,000 people went to Ukrainian cinemas to watch 2000 Meters to Andrivivka,
10:29one of the most popular documentary films in Ukrainian history.
10:33Of course, for both 2000 Meters to Andrivivka and 20 Days in Mariupol,
10:39we were aware and worried about how people will relive traumatic experiences.
10:46And what we discovered is that it is actually quite important for community
10:54to experience these tragic events together in a safe environment, cinema or their homes,
11:03and to feel that their suffering is not forgotten.
11:06You know, the worst, probably one of the worst things about those tragic moments
11:12that happened in Mariupol in the 2000 Meters and everything that happened in between is that
11:18a sense that those incredible tragedies might be forgotten and they don't matter.
11:27So films help to make sure that they are not forgotten, that they are acknowledged.
11:34And that's what my films and films of my fellow filmmakers in Ukraine are all about.
11:42They're about memory.
11:44They're about honoring that sacrifice.
11:46And when this war will be over, and every war is over someday,
11:55and I hope this war will be over soon,
11:58the new one will start, the one for truth.
12:02When guns fall silent, the new battle starts, the battle for truth.
12:07And there will be people that will try to rewrite the history.
12:12My task as a filmmaker is to make sure that it won't happen,
12:17that the history will not be rewritten,
12:20and that it's preserved, and it's remembered.
12:27I just think that the vital part, and we just spoke about that just now,
12:33how community came together and watched 20 Days in Mariupol,
12:38how they watched 2000 Meters to Anriyivka,
12:41and experienced the tragedies together.
12:44And in that community, in that community experience,
12:48lies the key for our collective treatment,
12:53for the beginning of our recovery.
12:57Because on our own, alone, we are nothing.
13:00Me, on my own, without my colleagues and my friends,
13:05without my community and family, I am nothing.
13:08I will fall apart tomorrow.
13:11Maybe I'm already falling apart.
13:13I'm just holding it together,
13:16just because I have people right next to me.
13:18You know, there was this moment
13:21during the premiere of 2000 Meters to Anriyivka in Ukraine,
13:26the soldiers who survived that battle
13:29came to cinema,
13:31and they came on the stage after the film.
13:35And the entire cinema was standing and applauding to them.
13:40And one of the soldiers lost his legs,
13:43and he couldn't stand for 10 minutes
13:44because they were applauding to him for 10 minutes.
13:48And so other soldiers came to him,
13:53and they held him so he could stand straight.
13:56And in that I saw the key to how we survive individually
14:02in that moment when we are all holding each other.
