ABOUT THE FILM: In Ukrainian, Russian, Polish and French with English subtitles. IN THE REARVIEW, Oscar-shortlisted for Best Documentary Feature, is an authentic, intimate observation of war as it unfolds, following multiple generations of Ukrainian civilians as they abruptly abandon their homes and rely on the help of filmmaker Maciek Hamela’s volunteer aid van to escape the life-threatening conflict. As he steers through minefields to leave Ukraine and tries to get through numerous military checkpoints, Hamela offers us a seat in his car, guiding the documentary from behind the wheel and behind the camera, crisscrossing the roads of Ukraine to transport uprooted refugees safely to Poland. The van traverses tens of thousands of kilometers and serves as a waiting room, hospital, shelter, and zone for confidences and confessions among compatriots thrown together by chance. Winner of the International Documentary Association’s Pare Lorentz Award and nominee for Best Feature Documentary, DOC NYC Winner’s Circle and European Film Awards Documentary Selection, and Sheffield International Documentary Festival, Zurich Film Festival, and Chicago International Film Festival award winner.
