Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary! Winner of the 2024 Sundance Grand Jury Prize for U.S. Documentary, Porcelain War is a stunning tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, embodying the enduring hope and passion of ordinary people living through extraordinary circumstances. As war ravages their homeland, artists Slava, Anya, and Andrey choose to stay in their native Ukraine and join the Ukrainian defense, armed with their art, their cameras, and—for the first time in their lives—their guns. "That Porcelain War emerges as a taut, effective war documentary that also features compelling animated sequences within the beautiful artwork of its lead subjects makes it a stand-out piece of filmmaking. Its existence proves its own point: even in war, there must be life. Art sustains us and helps us survive."—Dan Mecca, The Film Stage.
