Afghanistan and Ukraine – what do they have in common? And what remains of humanity when conflict outbursts? 

Another Summer tells stories of Afghan and Ukrainian refugees in Europe through their perspective. It is a film by refugees about refugees – the directors of Another Summer provided training and equipment to a group of Afghan and Ukrainian first-time filmmakers who had taken refuge in different European countries after the Taliban takeover in 2021 and the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. 

The filmmakers were divided into teams and sent to seven cities in Europe and Turkey. Their task was to record the stories of people like themselves who had fled violence and repression, capture what it nowadays means to be a refugee and gather unseen footage from their past lives and the horrors they endured. From what they brought back, one senses the bonds of people who recognize in each other what they have lost and the humanity they refuse to give up. Does it matter where you come from when you have to leave your home, what was yours has been stolen or destroyed, and your past has been stripped away?

Another Summer is brought to you by directors Alžběta Kovandová-Bartoníčková and David Edwards. Find out more about the film at www.chronicle-film.com
