The longer you bleed
by Ewan Waddell, Ukrania, 2025, 65' Greek Premiere
This personal documentary follows displaced Ukrainians in Berlin as they grapple with the traumatic absurdity of watching their homeland burn in real time—through pixels on Instagram. As the characters navigate their growing detachment from the horrors of war, absurdist humour emerges as a coping mechanism—a lens the film adopts to critique post-industrial society as a space for processing trauma.
