Imagine being in the middle of a war and still making art.

There are artists right now in Ukraine who are doing that every day.

This week, which marks exactly one year since Russia invaded Ukraine,

at least four Ukrainian films are on screen at the Berlin Film Festival.

And it's been like that all year. A number of Ukrainian movies four Ukrainian films are on screen at the Berlin Film Festival.

And it's been like that all year.

A number of Ukrainian movies were also at Sundance.

At the Venice Biennale, there was a special pavilion specifically for a lot of Ukrainian art.

Most of these artists making work in Ukraine are not on the front lines.

But that doesn't mean their lives are business as usual.

Far from it. It's very different at the front line and in the other areas, but both are unsafe and both are dangerous, just in different ways. Because at the front line, you can die as the soldier,

but in Kiev, you can die as the soldier,

but in Kiev you can die as a kid, as a pregnant woman,

as somebody who was just home, you know, taking a shower,

and then something fell on their building.

That's Nadia Parfan, one of the four Ukrainian filmmakers currently showing work in Berlin.

She lives in Kiev.

Nadia recently put out a documentary short on the New Yorker called I Did Not Want to Make a War Film.

It's a personal essay about how her everyday life is changed.

My name is Nadia. I'm from Ukraine. Back home, winters are dark and cold. I prefer to escape

somewhere warm and return in the spring when life wakes up again. This year was different.

The film documents Nadia returning to Kiev from her winter getaway after the war breaks
