Festyval is a collection of 30 videos, short films, rare live performances and animations spanning The Ukrainians’ incredible three-decade career.
   
Many of these have captured and preserved aspects not only of a changing Ukraine - but also of a changing Britain. The DVD includes:
    
on-tour footage of the band performing and travelling in Ukraine in the 1990s, when the country had only just gained its independence from the Soviet Union (11 - Ty Moyi Radoshchi, 15 - Na Skriptsi Hrayu).
live concert footage shot for vintage eastern European TV programmes that were far more stilted and formal stylistically than programmes in western Europe and North America (13 - Vorony, 30 - Verkhovyno).
A fabulous ‘folksy’ and award-winning animation from Poland created in the early ‘noughties’ (09 - Oi Divchino).
adventurous modern cinematic pieces directed by upcoming new UK filmmakers (05 - Sterezhitsya Kozakiv, 28 - Shchedryk).
Lo-fi Covid-19 lockdown videos shot by the band (04 - Zavtra, 23 - Vykhid).
There is also a bonus feature ‘Who Are The Ukrainians?’, a 14 minute documentary made by Kyiv-based TV channel ‘Ukrainer’ in August 2021.
 
The package also includes a 12 page booklet with further information, credits, video stills and memories / comments from band members and video makers about the making of each video.
 
Total Running Time 120mins
