It’s a brave director and film-making team that make a film set in and during the current Ukraine and Russia war. But that is the exciting and terrifying prospect we have with the Ukranian movie Stay Online and its director Eva Strelnikova.
When using a second-hand laptop a volunteer is called by a young boy who wants to know where his dad is (the owner of said laptop). Now, desperately wanting to give this child hope – and to give herself something to believe in, the volunteer sets out to find the father. A much riskier assignment than she ever thought it would be.
Perhaps the most obvious thing that sets Stay Online apart from any similar films is that this war is happening right now and that just...

It’s almost impossible to believe a feature film could be shooting in Ukraine but cameras are rolling on what’s understood to be the first movie shot in the war-torn country since Russia invaded.

The Oup was established in March and comprises seven experienced Ukrainian producers. It was created to makes documentaries and features about the premise, course and consequences of Russia’s full-scale aggression against Ukraine.

No longer.
