In the grasslands of Southern Ukraine, between Crimea and mainland Ukraine, a natural history researcher named Yura (Dmytro Bahnenko) is hoping to track down and photograph a groundhog. If he succeeds, the land can be protected as a European reserve. This apparently simple premise — the kernel at the outset of “The Editorial Office” — can’t begin to hint at the rugged tapestry of thematic and topical threads that Roman Bondarchuk’s second narrative feature proceeds to weave together, the unique product of both the director’s vision and ambition, and also of the circumstances under which it gestated.
Set and shot just before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and completed during the war, the film closes with a dedication to editor Viktor Onysko, who lost his life in the conflict during a combat mission.
While attempting to track his groundhog target, Yura catches some arsonists on camera as they set a forest fire.

War in Ukraine was a distant rumble in the background of Roman Bondarchuk’s feature debut Volcano. Now, as he reteams with co-writers Alla Tyutyunnik, who is also his mum, and Dar'ya Averchenko to write again about the southern part of Ukraine, the sound of the impending Russian invasion is louder but still feels one step removed from the everyday chaos of life on the ground.
“Fake. That’s our reality,” says a journalist, summing up the tension at the heart of this absurdist comedy drama. The Editorial Office is, indeed, a place where stories are not only created but bought and paid for and their relationship to reality is optional. Even Kafkaesque ideas are subject to chaos. All of which is a far cry from the life of Yura. His work is all about quantifiable facts - specifically, documenting examples of the...

We’ve got an exclusive clip to Ukrainian filmmaker Roman Bondarchuk‘s The Editorial Office (Redaktsiya) – his sophomore feature film was selected for the Forum section at the upcoming Berlin Intl. Film Festival. Coming from a docu background, Bondarchuk shot The Editorial Office just prior to the Russian invasion of southern Unraine — and so most of what we see in the film in terms of backdrops and the players has been destroyed, displaced or even joined enemy lines – paradoxically in the teaser below, we find Yura on the lookout for an endangered species which he never thought might include his neighbors.…...
