We are immensely proud that Olha Zhurba’s profoundly strong and moving documentary film Songs of Slow Burning Earth will have its World Premiere at this year’s Venice Int. Film Festival.
The film is a series of reflective observations of Ukraine in wartime, interwoven with eye-witness accounts to contemplate the ultimate tragedy: the normalisation of war.
‘Songs of Slow Burning Earth’ is produced by Darya Bassel for the Ukrainian production company Moon Man, and is co-produced by Anne Köhncke for Final Cut for Real and Kerstin Übelacker for We Have A Plan.
This is the second film we are coproducing with Olha following Outside from 2022, and in Songs of Slow Burning Earth is continuing her beautiul collaboration with editor Michael Aaglund and editing consultant Niels Pagh Andersen.
