Last night, the American Film Academy presented its awards for achievements in the field of cinema. For the first time in history, the Ukrainian film 20 Days in Mariupol was among the winners, winning the Oscar for Best Feature Documentary.
The film’s authors, who took to the stage, were dressed in very restrained black clothes. It emphasised the mood with which the Ukrainians were receiving the award: as director Mstislav Chernov said in his speech, “I wish I had never made this film”.
As it turned out, the director was wearing a very symbolic suit from the Ukrainian brand Indposhiv. Although it was not visible on stage, the word “FREEDOM” was embroidered on the lining of the jacket.
“We made a classic black suit for Mstislav, tailored to individual measurements. Its important element is the lining with the word “FREEDOM”. We are grateful to our customers who choose Indposhiv for important days not only in their lives, but also in the life of the whole country,”
– the brand wrote on its official Instagram page.
The film 20 Days in Mariupol tells the story of the 20 days that director Mstislav Chernov spent with his colleagues in besieged Mariupol at the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. On the 21st day of the war, the journalists left Mariupol through the humanitarian corridor. At the end of the film, a text appears stating that the city was fully occupied by Russia after 86 days.
The film won the Audience Award for Best Foreign Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival and the BAFTA Award.
