VYR collective, 10min., UK
Directed by Ellada Ludogovska
“VYR” is a 10 minute poetic short documentary exploring the ancestral power of creativity among Ukrainian artists in exile. Set in London, the film follows a theatre collective founded by a Ukrainian woman, Vyr, as its members engage in intimate conversations, folk rituals, and symbolic visual practices. Through circles, songs, and meditative gestures, the documentary reflects on how artistic energy becomes a refuge, a connection to cultural memory, and a source of resilience far from home. Combining lyrical observational cinematography with traditional lullabies, ambient sounds, and abstract visual motifs, VYR presents creativity as a living, ancestral force that unites generations and sustains identity in displacement.
