Black Book of Maidan (2014)
The almanac was filmed by students of the 2nd TV directing course of the I.K. Karpenko-Kary Kyiv National University of Theater, Film and Television for four months, which changed the country. These are stories about people for whom the Maidan has become an integral part of their lives - from dancing... to gunshots. These are eyewitness accounts, in which emotions are sometimes more important than words.

Beautiful, moving film.
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
