Аладдін

Luxembourgish Alternative Rock band Deep Dive culture’s lyrics centre around personal experiences and are based on true stories. The name derives from the comparison between the human mind and the ocean: both are nigh endlessly deep, and when you dive deep enough, you find things hiding from the light, like dark thoughts, and suffocated emotions.

«Mariupol. A Hundred Nights» tells us a story of a little girl who wakes up on February 24th because of the air raid alert and tries to find someone living in the burning city. The main character is based on the story of Alice, a 4‑year girl who stayed in the besieged Mariupol the whole time. She was also at Azovstal during the last month of defense. When russians allowed the evacuation of civilians from Azovstal, Alice was separated from her mother. A poem used in the film is «The wheels, the wheels, they hit the road» («Кolesa hlukho stukotiat») by Vasyl Stus, who was a Ukrainian poet and an active member of the dissident movement in the ​’60s and ​’70s. Stus was repressed and died in GULAG.

Iryna Harkavets 02:30 | 2020

This is a very personal story about how much everything is connected. About the relationship of children and parents, ecology education and responsibility for both relations with people and with nature.

“The War That Changed Rondo” is an animated film based on the book of the same name, representing that the war has no heart and doesn’t understand any language, though it concerns everyone and leaves scars. But if you build a machine of light together and learn to sing despite it all, then even the most fragile creatures will be able to survive and win. This story is a chance for a thoughtful conversation with children (or even with oneself) about what is happening now in the country, or elsewhere in the world, in the format of the magic history, which always leaves room for hope and optimism.
