"Castles in the Sand" is a documentary about Ukrainian artists who have been representing Ukraine at Burning Man for over a decade. May 21 in Barcelona — screening of the film and a conversation with the director after the screening.
What is the movie "Sandcastles" about?
This is the story of people who create art in the middle of the desert. Ukrainian artists, engineers, dreamers - those who transform ideas into large-scale art installations and bring them to one of the most famous cultural platforms in the world.
What began as an adventure and a way of self-expression has become a cultural dialogue with the world. An artistic manifesto. And a kind of cultural diplomacy through art.
Ukrainian installations at Burning Man
The film shows the stories of the creation of iconic Ukrainian works:
- Phoenix
- I'm Fine
- Blue Bull
- Black Cloud
For an international audience, these installations have become an entry point into the Ukrainian context. Through form and light, they speak of loss, memory, resilience, and freedom.
The film shows how these ideas are born, how much work goes into their implementation, and how the meanings laid down by the authors resonate in the Burners community.
