Ukrainian Doc ‘A Picture to Remember’ to Open 36th IDFA Intl Documentary Film Fest Amsterdam
A Picture to Remember by Olga Chernykh presents a deeply personal and essay-style account of the ongoing war in Ukraine and its violent history, seen through the prism of three generations of women: Chernykh herself, her mother, and her grandmother. In a bid for connection and intimacy, the filmmaker uses old family films, recordings of conversations, and news reports to bridge the distance between her and her grandmother. The result is a kaleidoscopic and personal film that travels through time fluidly.
