Summary:

It is February 2022 and Putin has just invaded Ukraine. First-hand accounts from a woman living in Russian-occupied Kherson illuminate the psychological, pragmatic, and emotional response to an abrupt new life in war time. Dictionary of Emotions In A Time of War is an experimental nonfiction film adapted from the testimonials of Olena Astasieva, a Ukrainian playwright living in Kherson. The film is anchored by the first-person narration of Olena Astasieva's wartime accounts, portrayed in a series of expressionistic vignettes that incorporate illustration and animation, studio art installations, archival footage, contemporary war photography, and fragmented recreations of narrative scenes. Each vignette is entitled by a word that describes an emotional and personal situation experienced since the onset of the war: Fear, Hunger, Love, Cleaning, Guilt, and beyond. The film also features dispatches from friends from both Ukraine and Russia.
