In the second instalment of our series of interviews with Ukrainian artists, we talk to film and television director Anna Yarovenko, known for her documentary 'Kinomaniya' (2004) and films about Ukrainian folk art.
She shares her experience of the morning of the Russian invasion in February 2022, escaping Kyiv with her mother and children, and her father's (retired film director Petro Vasyliovych Yarovenko) decision to stay on his land despite enemy planes flying overhead.
