We’d like to introduce you to the very talented Anastasiia Soviak-Krukovska.

While Ukraine is under attack, Anastasiia is in Ireland working as a director. We think you’ll agree that her work is very accomplished and brings something fresh to the Irish market. We are actively seeking scripts for Anastasiia to treat on, and we continue to .

I was born into a family of cinematographers in Kyiv. There was no opportunity for my parents to leave me with a nanny while they were working so luckily I was raised on set. If I am honest – I’ve never been to a place on earth which is better than film set, so I […]

Recently released short film ‘Kachalka’ directed by Gar O’Rourke, was filmed in Kyiv a couple of years ago.

Kachalka takes you into the heart of what is widely considered 'the world's most hardcore gym', Kyiv's enormous open-air Kachalka gym. Join the gym's caretaker as he takes us through the enormous scrap-metal site, allowing us a glimpse into the unique community and ingenuity from which it was created.

Since it's online release a few days ago, the film has received a Vimeo Staff Pick and was selected for Short of the Week

See the link below to watch the film on Vimeo and to learn more about how you can help Red Cross Ukraine during this time.
https://vimeo.com/684302493

Finally some recent words from Gar on this film;
“Kachalka was made in Kyiv a couple of summers ago, in a moment in time which seems a far cry away from the tragedy which is currently taking place. Although this film shows a very different reality to what we are currently seeing in Kyiv and around the rest of Ukraine, I hope this short film helps to shine a light on the Ukrainian spirit and what makes it truly unique. The intention behind this film was to capture the incredible sense of community and ingenuity that exists at the heart of this Kyiv gym and I think this is something which speaks to the stories we are hearing from Ukraine in this present time.”

Back in 2020, pre pandemic, the very talented and lovely Chris Cottam shot this spot for Paddy Power at Cheltenham. Featuring the delightful Colm Meaney, it was filmed in very difficult circumstances, but still turned out pretty well.

Two years later, it has been updated and back on our screens. Thanks to The Public House and Windmill Lane Pictures

We would like to also note today our continued support for our Ukrainian film family, and all Ukrainians through the Irish Red Cross, and other methods.
