How ‘Atlantis’ director made Ukraine’s most awarded film against Russia’s war


Andriy Rymaruk in a still from “Atlantis,” directed by Valentyn Vasyanovych in a visual style of beautiful symmetrical widescreen compositions. Rymaruk, a war veteran and volunteer who helps soldiers on the frontline in real life, is the leading actor and one of the many unprofessional cast members of the award-winning film.

Director Valentyn Vasyanovych hit a roadblock when in 2016, he set out to create a film about Russia’s war against Ukraine for the international audience. How do you make a film about this hybrid war that would be understood universally?

There is a lot of history and politics behind it, and disinformation on why the war began and what are the sides of the conflict. For many abroad, it’s still not clear that Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 aiding its proxy pro-Russian militants.
