Director Evgeny Afineevsky discusses his new film, Freedom on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom, with fellow director Raymond De Felitta in a Q&A at the DGA theater in New York. In the conversation, Afineevsky shares insights about working with nine editors on the project, engaging a crew in Russia to shoot footage, and counteracting the propaganda war of the current conflict. The film depicts Ukraine’s battle for freedom following Russian President Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked invasion in early 2022, as told through the personal stories of civilians, children, soldiers, and doctors.
