More information 

"During my stay in Vienna, I am writing the script and developing my new short animated film. This is a story about a mighty Mother Nature who prevents this world from dying under the destructive wreckage of a broken sun. I have named my film “Vesnianka”, which means spring song. Vesnianka is a type of Ukrainian folk song which is sung by girls as a calling for spring to come into its power. I dedicate this film to my home country, Ukraine, which is currently suffering from a war of aggression by a neighbouring state. I dedicate it to my fellow citizens, who get tortured, raped and many of them killed, but who do not give up and keep fighting for our freedom."
