Pavlo Ostrikov's film "U Are the Universe" has received recognition at two prestigious festivals:
- FilmFestival Cottbus (Germany): Award for Best Direction (Spezialpreis für die beste Regie) with a €7,500 cash prize and the Audience Award.
- The Thessaloniki International Film Festival (Greece): Volodymyr Kravchuk won the "Best Actor" award for his performance in the lead role.
"U Are the Universe" tells the story of Andriy, a truck driver and the last living person in the universe after the disappearance of Earth. Everything changes when a mysterious woman named Katrin makes contact, awakening hope and a sense of connection in the vastness of space.
The film was created with the support of the State Film Agency of Ukraine and ForeFilms, in collaboration with Belgium. With this genuinely moving story at its center, “U Are the Universe” should be able to find a bigger audience.
We sincerely congratulate the film team on these achievements and wish them continued success!
