The Team Behind Sundance-Winning Doc ‘Porcelain War’ on Sharing the Film With the World: ‘What Is Happening in the Ukraine Can Happen to Any One of Us’


The team behind 'Porcelain War,' which follows porcelain artists whose lives are turned upside down by the war in Ukraine, discuss the development of the doc.

Despite daily shelling, Stasenko finds resistance and purpose in her art, Stefanov takes the dangerous journey to get his young family to safety abroad, and Leontyev becomes a weapons instructor for regular people who have become unlikely soldiers. I would give feedback on the technical aspects of what they had shot, but it became clear to me very quickly that the aesthetic quality of their footage was always absolutely amazing, because they are such gifted artists: the camera was simply just a new tool. DUPRÉ PESMEN: Yes, but “Porcelain War” continues to be validated by incredible audience reactions as we share the film at festivals here and abroad.
