The Ukrainian film Terykony directed by Taras Tomenko won the prize for best international feature film and the special prize at the International Rhodope Film Fest documentary film festival.

“We saw so many soldiers – Azeri, Armenian, Arab, Jewish, Syrian, Ukrainian, singing soldiers, sleeping soldiers. Terykony gave us just that spark of hope we needed, that is why this film won the Grand Prix at the festival in Smolyan,” said author Wladimir Kamine, member of the international jury. In the featurette category the award went to French film directors Maxime Faure and Adam W. Pugliese for their Islanders.

A total of 45 films selected out of over 700 competed in the documentary film festival.
