Ukraine: Nightlife in Resistance

When Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24th 2022, the thriving electronic dance scene changed forever.

Overnight, producers, DJs, club owners, staff, promoters and curators became soldiers, refugees and volunteers. Such efforts swept through its venues, too. The country’s dance floors were suddenly repurposed into medical training facilities and ammunition factories, coordination headquarters and volunteer centers. Told through the personal stories of six individuals, this film presented by Resident Advisor explores how a once-thriving electronic music scene has been transformed by war.
