Shelter (2024)
“Shelter” tells the story of 10-year-old Nikita from Ukraine who moved to the Netherlands with his mother. He struggles with the unfamiliar language and making new friends. In secret, he plans to cycle back to Kyiv but first needs to learn how to ride a bike with the help of a classmate.
My Thoughts are Silent (Мої думки тихі) (2019)
Antonio Lukich’s first feature film is a delightful comedy and road movie that explores demographic challenges in Ukraine while addressing the topic of immigration.
Vadym, a freelance sound artist, wins an opportunity to collaborate with a Canadian video game company. Tasked with capturing the sounds of wildlife in Western Ukraine, Vadym needs the help of his energetic mother, who can shuttle him from site to site, to carry out the commission. Through the inevitable tensions in the mother-son relationship, My Thoughts Are Silent illustrates the longing shared by both of their generations to rebuild their lives in another place, outside tumultuous Ukraine.
“[Lukich’s film is] both immensely fun and keenly observant about life and people in Ukraine and anywhere.”
