In The Seats With....Brendan Bellomo, Paula DuPre Pesman and 'Porcelain War'

Even in the face of the horrors of war, art and beauty must prevail... On this very special episode, we're diving into a look at some very people who are sticking to their principles of creating beauty while defending their country from invasion.  It's time for 'Porcelain War' Under roaring fighter jets and missile strikes, Ukrainian artists Slava, Anya, and Andrey choose to stay behind and fight, contending with the soldiers they have become. Defiantly finding beauty amid destruction, they show that although it’s easy to make people afraid, it’s hard to destroy their passion for living. This film is undeniable testament to the human spirit and the importance of art in the face of human tragedies like the war in Ukraine.  We had the unique pleasure of sitting down with co-director Brendan Bellomo and producer Paula DuPre Pesman about how 'Porcelain War' came to be. Porcleain War hits the TIFF Lightbox this Friday.
