Mariupolis 2

សង្ខេបរឿង

In 2022, Mantas Kvedaravicius returned to Mariupol, Ukraine, accompanied by his partner, Hanna Bilobrova, to re-engage with the people he had met and filmed in 2015 amidst the conflict. After his untimely passing, Hanna, the co-author of their film, and her team have put all their strength into continuing transmitting Mantas' work, his vision and his films. Also a Ph.D. in anthropology, Mantas Kvedaravicius wished to testify as a filmmaker as far as possible from the agitation of the media and the politicians. With huge force and sensitivity, MARIUPOLIS 2 depicts life as it continues amidst the bombing and reveals images that convey both tragedy and hope.
