"Into the Blue" was created in December 2022 during the first global blackout in Kyiv. The series has yet to be published or shown. Two years later, in 2024, the themes of loneliness, homesickness, uncertainty, and the experiences of civilian women during the energy crisis and war remain highly relevant and important to address.
The series was produced in the temporary apartment of Anastasia, a Donetsk native who has been displaced from her home for over a decade. Due to the lack of electricity, we used a battery-operated blue lamp to capture her life.
