CASE STUDY AND SCREENING: Those Who Stayed

Date: Tuesday 28 November │

Start time: 5.00pm |

Venue: Hall 2,

Kings Place

Content London goes behind the scenes with the coproduction partners of Those Who Stayed, which was filmed earlier this year in Kyiv as the war raged. We will hear more about the series and why the Nordics came on board as official coproducers of a series shot in Ukraine and in Ukrainian. Going behind the scenes of how the series got made, lessons learned, the Nordic experience and the importance of telling this story. The panel discussion will then be followed by a 35 minute screening of the first episode.

Those Who Stayed:

A heartfelt, heart-warming new drama about dignity, humanity and hope.

Those Who Stayed is a unique drama anthology series for our time, inspired by true events which happened in Kyiv in the first few weeks after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. As the brutal war got underway, every second person left Kyiv. Yet every second person remained. These are their stories – variously moving, funny, sad, stark, unsettling and uplifting.

Produced by FILM.UA Group in co-production with SVT (Sweden), YLE (Finland), NRK (Norway). In association with Red Arrow Studios International.
