The Distant Barking of Dogs

Award-winning documentary following a 10-year-old Ukrainian boy and his grandmother on the frontline of the Ukraine-Russia conflict.

"Oleg is just 10 years old. He and his beloved grandmother, Alexandra, live in a small, partly abandoned, village on East Ukraine’s border. In the near distance, Russian and Ukrainian missiles criss-cross the sky. It’s summertime, and innocent young Oleg wants to be outside playing, but his emerging teen bravado is shaken by rockets overhead. His devoted grandmother understandably worries for their future, as she struggles to maintain some semblance of childhood for the boy." (Sydney Film Festival)
