Kateryna Khramtsova’s documentary short Qirim – the native Tatar name for Crimea – is a portrait of Antonina Romanova: a non-binary performance artist turned mortar technician in the Ukrainian army. Incorporating animation and split-screen techniques, and merging personal testimony with battlefield footage, Khramtsova’s film offers a window into one of the many individual battles that constitutes Ukraine’s struggle for sovereignty.
