Event details

An evening of international short films from the WWIFF 2026 competition, with a focus on Ukraine. The programme spans fiction, documentary and student work, and includes films about exile, war and the people caught up in it.

  • Fuck Them All (Ukraine, 2025): a 30-year-old woman flees to Poland at the start of the full-scale invasion and discovers she is pregnant. Directed by Polina Biliaieva.
  • Screaming Silence (UK, 2026): a Ukrainian war veteran struggles with isolation and memories of his comrades. Directed by Anna Kachaienko, a Ukrainian filmmaker based in London.
  • The Pain Department (Ukraine and UK, 2026): a documentary following a specialist pain team treating injured soldiers in Western Ukraine. Directed by Paul Thomas.
  • Unexpressed (Czechia and Ukraine, 2026): after months in exile in Berlin, a woman returns to Kyiv, where her reunion with her partner unfolds differently than she imagined. Directed by Mariia Felenko.
  • Variété (Ukraine, 2026): in a smoke-filled jazz bar in an occupied city, officers and officials spend the night listening to music. Directed by Veronica Marchenko.

The evening closes with a question-and-answer session.
