The Cinematheque

The EUFF continues to stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine and their fight for self-determination. That struggle is chronicled in The Hardest Hour, a documentary consisting entirely of cellphone footage taken by Ukrainians on the ground. Culled from 200 hours of video recordings—of Ukrainians before and during wartime—the film is a collective testament to a nation’s courage and resilience. ​“Listen to the voices of Ukrainians … We have put them together for you in a time capsule. While watching this film, remember this is exactly what the battle for life, for freedom, for the future looks like. The war goes on, and so does our hardest hour” (director Alan Badoev).
