This success belongs to every single person who believed in this project. To our co-producers, partners, and our incredible crew — thank you for your tireless efforts and for standing with us.
Huge thanks to the selection committee of the Cannes Film Festival @festivaldecannes ! For us, the true value of being in Cannes is the chance to share this story with the world. The film addresses a sensitive but vital topic.
To everyone who supported us: this is for you.
L’aventure commence! See you in Cannes!
In winter, a small town in Russian-occupied south-eastern Ukraine. A priest forced to store executed civilians in his church-turned-morgue secretly returns their bodies to their families. As liberation nears, preserving proof of war crimes outweighs saving his own life.

«Стоп-Земля» знову на великому екрані!
Друзі, запрошуємо на спецпоказ фільму @stop.zemlia із режисеркою Катериною Горностай @ka_krapka у кінотеатрі «Жовтень» @zhovten.cinema Вже у цю суботу, 28 березня, о 17:00.
Це чуттєва автобіографічна історія про дослідження себе. 16-річна Маша вчиться у звичайній київській школі. Не почуватися дивно в колективі їй допомагають близькі друзі Яна та Сєня. Окрім майбутніх екзаменів, вийти із зони комфорту Машу змушує закоханість в однокласника Сашу. Вона розуміє, якщо не наважишся спитати – ніколи не знатимеш, чи це навзаєм.
Стрічка, що руйнує четверту стіну, а в персонажах впізнаєте себе юними. Головні ролі тут за непрофесійними акторами-підлітками, які проживали на екрані те, що й у житті.
Фільм ніжний, а ще до біса якісний — призер Берлінале @berlinale , ОМКФ @odesafilmfestival та «Кіноколо».
До зустрічі у кіно!
