| Porcelain War Showing FREE at the Lopez Library | |
|
03/28/2025 7:00 - 9:00 PM Friday Harbor Film Festival is delighted to welcome Lopez islanders to our simultaneous screening of Porcelain War on Friday, March 28 at 7 pm. at both the San Juan Island Library and the Lopez Island Library. Now nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, this remarkable film takes viewers on a visually stunning and deeply moving journey into the lives of artists creating beauty amidst the devastation of war. The documentary will be followed by an exclusive prerecorded Q&A with the director, Brendan Bellomo. Details are available at fhff.org.
Porcelain War
Amidst the chaos and destruction of the brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine, three artists defiantly find inspiration and beauty as they defend their culture and their country. In a war waged by professional soldiers against ordinary civilians, Slava Leontyev, Anya Stasenko, and Andrey Stefanov choose to stay behind, armed with their art, their cameras, and, for the first time in their lives, their guns.
Despite daily shelling, Anya finds resistance and purpose in her art, Andrey takes the dangerous journey to get his young family to safety abroad, and Slava becomes a weapons instructor for ordinary people who have become unlikely soldiers. As the war intensifies, Andrey picks up his camera to film their story, and on tiny porcelain figurines, Anya and Slava capture their idyllic past, uncertain present, and hope for the future.
Under roaring fighter jets and missile strikes, Ukrainian artists Slava, Anya, and Andrey choose to stay behind and fight, contending with the soldiers they have become. Defiantly finding beauty amid destruction, they show that although itâs easy to make people afraid, itâs hard to destroy their passion for living.
Porcelain War is a stunning tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, embodying the passion and fight that only artists can put back into the world when itâs literally crumbling around them. With extraordinary footage filmed by everyday civilians, it is a story far bigger than Ukraine, itâs an unforgettable story about all of us.
