The War Museum held a preview screening of the documentary "Krynky" and a presentation of the photo exhibition of the same name. The documentary was created by photojournalists Kostyantyn and Vlada Liberov in collaboration with Ukrinform. It was filmed in a village in the Kherson region, which now only exists as a name and a place on the map due to being in a war zone.
During the event, Kostyantyn and Vlada recounted how they came up with the idea to start filming. "We had no intention of making a movie because this is not our specialty," said Vlada Liberova. However, after spending a month with the 126th Brigade in brutal combat, the photographers realized that photos would not be enough and switched to the video format. The pictures they took were included in the Krynky exhibition, which is currently on display in the Main Building of the War Museum.
The photojournalists also expressed their gratitude to director Olha Dmytrenko, who made every effort to transform the 600 GB of footage into a compelling and dynamic film that entirely depicted all the hardships endured by Ukrainian soldiers.
Soldiers, military commanders, and the film’s protagonists were present at the event.
We invite you to watch the film that premiered on July 11 on the Ukrinform YouTube channel.
