Samuel Bayer Beyond the Frame (2026)
At 63, Samuel Bayer, the music video director for Nirvana and David Bowie, has seen almost everything. But a chance meeting with the soldiers of the Cultural Forces proves to be a true awakening. Facing his fears head-on, he travels to Ukraine to make a film about the people he has just met. What was planned as a standard documentary shoot will forever transform Bayer's perspective on the world.
Director: Dmytro Hreshko
