A house made of Splinters
Take action
”I hope to bring attention not just to the ongoing conflict in Eastern Ukraine but to the long term less visible effects it is having on children and their families living in the region. With this film I wanted to show the heartbreaking consequences together with the friendships and resilience these kids have.”
Simon Lereng Wilmont, director of A House Made of Splinters
VOICES OF CHILDREN
In 2015 Olena Rozvadovska, who worked as a production coordinator on ‘A House Made of Splinters’ started an independent organization to help children in the region. This organization runs programs to help children overcome the traumatic consequences of war. One of them is art-therapy. It especially suits the children who have difficulties in describing their emotions, experience and fears in words. Moreover, it helps to reduce the stress level and cope with anxiety.
To give the children the possibility to speak their mind, we create videos with their participation. The main principle is not to represent them in the role of victims who have to be sympathized with. On the contrary – they are all the winners for us as they resist much more complicated circumstances.
VOICES OF CHILDREN are working on getting registered in the EU and the organization is independent from the film. Final Cut for Real is not linked to the organization.
