On May 28, the premiere of the satirical almanac “Yod”, created by domestic filmmakers on a volunteer basis, will take place. And now its first trailer has been released.
“Yod” consists of tapes up to three minutes long. All of them are sharp statements on current issues of Ukrainian reality. They neither illustrate nor ridicule the falsehood that permeates our – primarily government – life. Candid films comprehend the paradoxical (post)revolutionary reality of Ukraine.
The almanac is created according to the operating principle of “Babylon 13” – the movie is made without money. The initiator of the creation of “Yoda” was film director Dmitry Tomashpolsky.
The debut issue of the almanac consists of works by Antonina Noyabreva, Alina Khoroshilova, Valery Simonchuk, Pavel Ostrikov, Daria Baranova, Daria Dolesko, Ilya Zakharov and Dmitry Tomashpolsky.
Among the screenwriters are Igor Shub, Arkady Gartsman, Alexander Volodarsky, Vadim Shinkarev and others.
The duration of the first film almanac is 22 minutes.
The premiere of “Yoda” will take place at the ceremony of presenting prizes from the National Union of Cinematographers of Ukraine to the best domestic films of last year. In the future, screenings of the almanac will take place before the main screenings of the Ukrainian film “Lyra” in the cinema, as well as on television and on the Internet.
