On January 8, massive fires erupted in Los Angeles, resulting in at least five fatalities, the destruction of hundreds of buildings, and the evacuation of over 130,000 residents.
We spoke with co-directors Brendan Bellomo and Slava Leontyev about ‘
Porcelain War’
—a documentary that delves into the heart of Ukraine's struggle amidst the Russian full-scale invasion. Winner of the 2024 Sundance US Documentary Grand Jury Prize, the film is a testament to the resilience and unyielding spirit of the Ukrainian people—much like porcelain itself: easy to break, yet impossible to destroy.
Despite the numerous challenges of operating in wartime, Ukraine’s startup industry has begun to experience a revival, and new businesses continue to emerge. While launching startups during such times may seem risky, some entrepreneurs believe that there is no better time than now to innovate and build.
