The space of The Dovzhenko film studios in Kyiv is transformed into a rave Cxema. The Kyiv youth reclaims their post-revolutionary city in an intimate yet massive nighttime ritual, an absolute freedom many look forward to. The carefully focused camera follows the participants into a new day—the reality many do not seem to accept.Dedicated to the Youth of the World II

Dedicated to the Youth of the World III

Dedicated to the Youth of the World III is a reenactment of the artists’ film with the same title produced in 2019, which documented the rave Сxema in Kyiv. The artists decided to reenact the party in September 2023 in the face of constant threat, focusing on community members who have replaced the previous rave participants, after a prolonged pandemic and the full-scale invasion by Russian occupation forces.

Dedicated to the Youth of the World III aims to capture the novel reality that has since emerged, a “new day” that nobody would have imagined in their wildest dreams four years ago.
