Украинская Мадонна / Ukrainian Madonna

The Internet is full of images of the terrible suffering and destruction in Ukraine. No less impressive are pictures that show the courage of the people and give hope and confidence in victory. One picture became a symbol of Ukrainian resistance: UKRAINIAN MADONNA - a mother saving her baby.

The music for violin solo was composed by Vladimir Genin especially for this project. The piece was recorded by Misha Nodelman, soloist and chamber musician, first concertmaster of the New Philharmonic Orchestra of Westphalia and founder of the Nodelman Quartet in the unique Rochus Church in Düsseldorf. Ukrainian artist Svitlana Vol made a drawing, which was created as a reaction of the artist to the music and changed in real time. The video was created by video artist Stefan Nacke, winner of several international music film competitions.

With our film we want to oppose Russian propaganda, keep the emergency situation in Ukraine alive in the public consciousness and promote relief actions.

The idea for this project came from Larisa Shevandina, Ukrainian citizen activist and leader of the "Return Freedom" movement for the release of Ukrainian citizens from Russian captivity.
