The latest episode of the Docuseries Fantastic Ukrainians focuses entirely on the power of Dance in Ukraine
We approach the new chapter of the Fantastic Ukrainians by asking: how can you not be romantic about Dance?
The Online Charity Screenings on Filmmakers for Ukraine introduce the latest episode of the docuseries. Available on our platform from Thursday, 8 September.
The new film brings together the leaders of the dance industry in Ukraine, as they tell from their own experience how to become a professional dancer. And make a living out of this profession. From hip-hop to ballet and ballroom dancing. These artists share how to choose the style, and how to work as a director and be in demand abroad.
In a time where mainstream action and sci-fi movies carry the word “Fantastic” in their titles, the series of documentaries called Fantastic Ukrainians really grounds the meaning of the word, offering the viewers the possibility to take a deep dive into the core of Ukrainian identity.
