Films

During the Maidan protests, the films of Babylon'13 focused on the large demonstrations and sweeping movements of the revolution. The collective continued to produce films through the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, but shifted its focus to low-tech, small-scale short films that had a much more narrow and grounded focus. These short films, uploaded by individuals and collected by Babylon'13, consist of scenes of life on the ground in Ukraine and seek to provide a different perspective on the conflict.[2] Themes throughout the war have included portraits of brave individuals, as well as insight into often overlooked groups in Ukraine, such as the Roma.[3]
