Final Cut for Real proudly announces that Songs of Slow Burning Earth, directed by Olha Zhurba, has been shortlisted for Best Documentary at the 38th European Film Awards
Songs of Slow Burning Earth is a mosaic portrait of life in Ukraine during the first two years of Russia’s full-scale invasion. The film reveals the transformation of a society moving from the panic of the war’s early weeks to an uneasy acceptance of death and destruction that have tragically become the new normal for Ukrainians.
We invite members of the European Film Academy to watch the film and cast their votes on the EFA VOD platform.
Voting runs from October 22 to November 5, 2025.
The film is also available to wider audiences and viewers in Denmark via DR.dk.
We hope that both Academy members and general audiences will discover and share this powerful story from Ukraine.
