- THE DISTANT BARKING OF DOGS is set in Eastern Ukraine on the frontline of the war. The film follows the life of 10-year-old Ukrainian boy Oleg throughout a year, witnessing the gradual erosion of his innocence beneath the pressures of war. Oleg lives with his beloved grandmother, Alexandra, in the small village of Hnutove. Having no other place to go, Oleg and Alexandra stay and watch as others leave the village. Life becomes increasingly difficult with each passing day, and the war offers no end in sight. In this now half-deserted village where Oleg and Alexandra are the only true constants in each other's lives, the film shows just how fragile, but crucial, close relationships are for survival. Through Oleg's perspective, the film examines what it means to grow up in a war zone. It portrays how a child's universal struggle to discover what the world is about grows interlaced with all the dangers and challenges the war presents. Thus, THE DISTANT BARKING OF DOGS unveils the consequences of war bearing down on the children in Eastern Ukraine, and by natural extension, the scars and self-taught life lessons this generation will carry with them into the future.

- Oleg and the War is the children's version of the award winning film 'The Distant Barking of Dogs'. Ten-year-old Oleg lives in warzone Ukraine with his loving Grandmother. He often plays with his younger cousin Yarik and older neighbour Kostya. The children find joy in everyday adventures - constantly laughing, exploring, playing - doing what kids do. They don't realize that their playgrounds are different from what other children have. They play in abandoned soldier warehouses, where mines and bullets scatter the floor. Instead of playing with a toy football, they play with a hardball gun. Oleg and his friends learn that their 'toys' can be dangerous, and their games might have real consequences. This observational film follows a year in the life of Oleg, highlighting how children can still have fun despite frightening circumstances. Even though bombs scare the children, they learn to be brave and strong. By sticking close to Oleg, the film captures how Oleg adjusts to life in a war-zone, becoming resilient and mature beyond his years.
