The Cinema Sound UA Production Studio has worked on a new film titled “Heroes and Cowards” by German director Harald Franklin.

The director has cast Ukrainian actors for the majority of the roles in his film, a trend that has been increasingly common due to Ukraine’s reputable acting tradition.

“Heroes and Cowards” is an action film that delves into the theme of international terrorism. Harald Franklin presents his own unique perspective on this pervasive evil that plagues the world.

In the face of loved ones being on opposite sides of the barricades, what choices will the heroes make? Who will succumb to cowardice, and who will maintain their moral courage? What sacrifices are they willing to make for the ones they hold dear?

Woman at War (Kona fer í stríð) is a 2018 Icelandic-Ukrainian comedy-drama film written, produced and directed by Benedikt Erlingsson, and starring Halldóra Geirharðsdóttir.

Following a premiere at 2018 Cannes Film Festival via the International Critics’ Week, it was released on 22 May 2018 to critical acclaim and was selected as the Icelandic entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 91st Academy Awards, but it was not nominated.

Halla, a choir conductor and eco-activist, plans to disrupt the operations of a Rio Tinto aluminium plant in the Icelandic highlands, purposely damaging electricity pylons and wires to cut their power supply.

One day, a long-forgotten application to adopt an orphan child from Ukraine is approved. At the same time, the government ramps up police and propaganda efforts in order to catch and discredit her. The film revolves around her attempts to reconcile her dangerous and illegal activism with the upcoming adoption.
