We will definitely talk about this after the last air raid alert stops

We will definitely talk about this after the last air raid alert stops presents a neon-coloured utopian vision set in a post-war city, where humanity strives for harmony with nature through a recultivation programme. The film transcends the binary opposition between culture and nature, instead envisioning a society where individual goals align with the well-being of others, be it humans, trees, rivers or mushrooms. The cinematic journey navigates post-war resilience, cultural shifts and ecological challenges, exploring a world liberated from obsolete mechanisms of exploitation. The narrative unfolds on a single screen, complemented by two additional screens offering visual tours through forests in the near and distant future.

Yuri Yefanov, a Ukrainian artist and filmmaker, initiated this introspective yet exuberant film amidst the aftermath of the Russian invasion. His work delves into a world where the environment no longer feels distant, and becomes, yet again, an integral part of our existence.

Like a time traveller, the viewer witnesses a city that embraces a hopeful future, shedding the shadows of war and striving for coexistence with nature. Offering a glimpse into a harmonious and rejuvenated world.
