Princeton University Concerts Presents: Porcelain War (Documentary Screening)
From Oscar®-winning producer and acclaimed war correspondent-turned-director Brendan Bellomo, Porcelain War is a harrowing, visually arresting portrait of artists on the frontlines of the war in Ukraine. Filmed amidst the rubble and resilience of an active war zone, the documentary follows three Ukrainian creatives who choose to fight not only with weapons, but with their art—painting, sculpting, and dreaming amid destruction. With rare, intimate footage and powerful cinematic imagery, Porcelain War becomes a defiant testament to beauty as a form of resistance and survival. The film was the most decorated documentary of 2024, including winning the U.S. Documentary Competition Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary Feature at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, and being nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 97th Academy Awards.
