‘Our New President’ and ‘Home Games’

Our New President
Director: Maxim Pozdorovkin

The story of Donald Trump’s election told entirely through Russian propaganda. By turns horrifying and hilarious, the film is a satirical portrait of Russian meddling in the 2016 election that reveals an empire of fake news and the tactics of modern day information warfare.

Home Games
Director: Alisa Kovalenko

A broken fairytale depicting a crucial moment in the life of Alina, a 20-year-old “million dollar baby” from Kyiv, whose passion for football has a chance of saving her from poverty. But suddenly, Alina’s mum dies, leaving behind her beloved half-brother and sister. There is no money, and life is a mess. For a while, Alina quits football. She soon returns, but will she find the strength to save her family and find her personal redemption? This is more than just a film about girls who play football: it’s a film about lost innocence, dreams and responsibilities.
