Traces
Traces shines a light on Ukrainian women who, after surviving conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) and torture during Russia’s war, refuse to remain silent.
On the night of July 27–28, 2025, forty cinematographers and hundreds of people captured a single summer night in Ukraine. From the northern forests to the front lines, from the temporarily occupied territories to the border towns and villages, this film is a collective portrait of a nation living through a large-scale war for the last four years. Through a polyphonic montage—moving from the general to the personal—it depicts everyday life, where, amid fear, exhaustion, and brief flashes of joy, resilience emerges, along with the hope that one day, this night will pass.
