EXCLUSIVE: “Ukraine is like Pocelain. Easy to break but impossible to destroy”.

That is a line from the Oscar nominated documentary feature, Porcelain War which just won the Documentary Feature award for directors Brendan Bellomo and Slava Leontyev, the latter Ukranian artist is also one of the subjects of the film who stayed behind to use his art, rather than guns as he says, to put up a powerful resistance to the Ukraine war and Russia’s invasion.

Among others, three time Oscar winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro is speaking out for the film and its cause, most recently in a virtual Q&A with the directors. Leontyev explains to him how he learned the camera, such as used for this film, is far more powerful than a rifle, giving him a “new brush” to paint with.

del Toro praises the film for emphasizing the value of art, but offers a stark warning: “We are also entering in the entire world a very, very dark time everywhere we look and where art is going to be demeaned and is going to be robbed of its power, ” he said. “It’s going to be something that is not practical, or is a dream, or is this useless thing or this or that, and it isn’t, and your movie is incredibly prescient, present, and powerful in telling everybody that the resistance is anywhere you are, anywhere you go, it is art and spirit, because they’re the same thing.”

Saturday night the Porcelain War filmmakers celebrated their DGA win and PGA nomination in the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel lobby after the Producers Guild Awards. In a week where Donald Trump has fired the Board of Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and established himself as its new Chairman, del Toro’s words take on new meaning for artists. With Oscar voting beginning today the Porcelain War team is planning multiple virtual Q&As including del Toro’s , as well as in person screenings around the globe. Among those who have come out for the film are Chris Columbus, Rashida Jones, Fisher Stevens, Roger Ross Williams, Julie Taymor, Christopher Hampton, and others.
