The film "A Picture to Remember" by director Olga Chernykh won the award for Best Documentary Film at the goEast festival. And Anna Buriachkova's film "Forever-Forever" received two prizes at the Istanbul Film Festival - the Golden Tulip for Best Film in the international competition and the FIPRESCI Award.

The documentary "A Picture to Remember" takes viewers on a journey through the trials and tribulations of a Ukrainian family from Donetsk. With the onset of war in 2014, the family was forced to leave their home. This happened again in 2022 when the enemy knocked on the doors of their home, this time in Kyiv. Cast into the emptiness of an unknown future, the director immerses herself in a kaleidoscope of memories and chronicles her own and collective recollections.
