It takes a village – or the remainder of one – to raise a child in the “temporal character”, which is the latest in a documentary set of documentaries that offer the current reality of living in Ukraine as Russia continues to launch its unreasonable war on the region. From “20 days in Oscar -winning Mariolpol to” Porcelain War “to” The GIVASION “in Sergey Loznitsa, such films are built towards an artistic archive and a basic journalist for the continuous horror. Collectively, they make a overwhelming wall of tragedy – Kateryna Gornostai is somewhat from it with its focus on young people who hope to call this present one day, and those who are heading to anything that the future holds. There is destruction in “Timestamp”, of course, but also a bright beam of hope that he feels inverted and hard -working.
The only documentary that was chosen in this year’s Berlinali competition, follows the first Gornostai feature for the first time “Stop-Zemlia”, a upcoming image that won the honoring of decorations at the same festival 14plus Strand in 2021 (received multiple times. Our platform is our release next year. In the same way, this explicit, free, free document may seem just a creative exit of the director, However, the gentle human interest in its view is a clear delivery factor between the two films, as is the case with the appetite for its photography style. (DP DP Oleksandr Roshchyn was both behind the lens.) Above all, “Timestamp” gornostai asserts as a sympathetic historian with insightful for young people in all its torment and modernity – in this case, it was not defeated by difficult times.
Using any novel, or hadith presidents or any other form of comments over 125 minutes, the director plants the camera in a group of primary and secondary semesters throughout the country – titles on the screen indicate where and to any range of the front lines of the conflict are – To monitor the old educational routine that lasts in wartime, and the new one that becomes unnoticed quickly. The shooting was launched between March 2023 and June 2024, and while Gornostai and the editor Nikon Romancinko does not impose a strictly historical line on the procedures, the film is almost followed .
An editorial montage of empty schools is broken by Qaqaqa Sports Hall in the session, a wave of small limbs that accelerate along the worn wood floor panels. After a few minutes, Gornostai will cut a similar gym, bombed and spread with broken glass. “Timestamp” removes such keys and courses in the air through the common educational spaces, as the film pays fragility to the house under these circumstances. In the semester, the work as usual-whether it was a technical category for the teachers of the eager grades or a more mature lesson, and a completely amazing lesson on the evils of totalitarianism-is often delivered with rituals of silence for the dead, and it is regularly cut by the air strike sirens.
That cruelty, a warning swelling, becomes an audio image of the film – in a blatant contradiction with an audio audio entry from the unexpected Alexei Gramrac Capella The result, the literal human choir amid chaos. Every time the sirens look like, wandering a quick evacuation of all children and employees to narrow shelters where some injured teachers try to continue their lessons against the competing noise of classes and other curricula. For students, the evacuation initially carries an atmosphere of concrete panic, and even a perverted fresheon of adventure, despite frequent repetition, the deadly danger is dismantled in strange boredom.
As for teachers, they adapt to the moment with the lesson plans in time that they do their best to normalize. Kindergarten is taught the importance of not touching the external objects on the street with the same joyful educational tone that one may use to explain how traffic lights make. Older children are given a comprehensive and somewhat worrying educational age in how to collect and release the rifle, although any military advertisement attempts to be under Glum Reality. During a private association, one of the young children of children and conflicts is asked to present a lot of positivity: “We do not”, and she answers frankly when a girl asks how they deal in the battle.
Elsewhere, a group of Cherubic blog blog leads to a numerous number of teachers who have been carefully tested for the collected teachers, their fresh and serious faces that are annoying with lyric: “Who will restore the bright smile of the mother who killed her son?” It is one of the many moments in “Timestamp” to show us the formative life lessons that are learned with an unconventional thing – whether in the semester or, in the least type of field trips, a funeral for a beloved beloved manager in an explosion.
Not everything is harsh and hate in adulthood. Joy, play and science are also caught here: a birthday celebration during a shelter period, with a cake, or a popular dance for teenagers. “This is your life-everything for you,” the 2023 soldier addresses near the end of this vibrant moving mosaic, although you feel the courageous youth who are wondering about the amount that will be left to them.
