Challenge

This clip is the first in a series of films about Lviv translators. We shot this material in Natali Ivanychuk's country house, knowing how close the Scandinavian atmosphere is to her, we tried to convey this mood in the film. In fact, the film is a lengthy interview with the translator conducted by Bohdana Brylynska, director of the Mtssta office of UNESCO Literature, and several still-life elements add to it a feeling of cinematic atmosphere. Filming was carried out on a Sony 6300 camera and a Takumar 50 lens, using my original tilt-shift technique to blur frames and create a sleepy atmosphere
