About the film "20 days in Mariupol"
The film tells the story of the first weeks of fighting in Mariupol during a full-scale Russian invasion.
Director and photographer Mstislav Chernov, photographer Yevhen Maloletka and producer and journalist Vasylisa Stepanenko worked on the film. They became the last journalists who covered the beginning of the destruction of Mariupol by Russia — for this, all three received the Pulitzer Prize.
- On March 11, 2024 , the documentary film "20 Days in Mariupol" by Ukrainian director Mstislav Chernov became the first film from Ukraine to win an Oscar. The film was recognized as the best full-length documentary film.
- Even before the Oscar, the film "20 Days in Mariupol" received many awards and world recognition. The film was awarded the Audience Award at the main independent film festival Sundance in 2023. For this film, its creators (Yevhen Maloletka, Mstislav Chernov and Vasylisa Stepanenko) also won the Shevchenko Prize — the most prestigious award for their contribution to the development of culture and art in Ukraine.
- The tape became the highest-grossing documentary film in Ukraine, collecting 500,000 hryvnias only for the first weekend of release. Mstislav Chernov also received an award from the Directors Guild of America.
