Storyality

Multi-format documentary series showing stories, dreams, and hopes of Ukrainians and Russians affected by the war.

In the new reality created by the war in Ukraine, the stories of real people (refugees from Ukraine and new immigrants from Russia) are the stories to be heard. These people had to leave everything behind and flee, many of them taking as little as a single backpack. Many of their family members and friends stayed, and some of them are nowhere to be found. Each story is history.

The stories of Russian immigrants are less bloody but equally tragic. Shocked and overwhelmed by suddenly becoming the citizens of the aggressor state, they left the country with no hope to get back or even to visit any time soon. The whole country has split into two fighting halves. Friendships and even families fell apart. There are many stories to tell.

Told in different artistic ways, using animation, music, and other media, and presented as Instagram stories both via dedicated Instagram account and celebrity influencers with hundreds of thousands of subscribers (some of them will also be our characters), after six months it will be edited into a documentary and sent to film festivals both in Israel and worldwide.
