THE FACE OF UKRAINE: CASTING OKSANA BAIUL Short Films

Adorned in pink sequins, little girls from war-torn Ukraine audition to play the role of Olympic champion figure skater Oksana Baiul.

In 2012, Kitty Green moved to her mother’s native Ukraine to live and shoot with the provocative protest movement Femen. Her documentary UKRAINE IS NOT A BROTHEL premiered at the 2013 Venice Film Festival. In 2014, Kitty travelled back to Ukraine to make THE FACE OF UKRAINE: CASTING OKSANA BAIUL, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
