“The Days I Would Like to Forget” by Ukrainian film collective Tabor, which picked up the top industry award at international documentary festival Visions du Réel, is a trilogy project that examines the consequences of war., Maksym Nakonechnyi , Simon Mozgovyi and Yelizaveta Smith , who have been working together and documenting the war in their country for close to a decade.
“It was instinctive at first, we thought it was important to document everything that was going on. We all started doing it in parallel. Later, when we watched the footage and realized that this war affects our present, our future, and our past, we thought we should make a film out of it,” she said. Asked how they plan to ensure a cohesive visual style for all three chapters, Gorlova said: “All our previous films were made in this form of collaboration, we have been working together for around 10 years: we edit each other’s films, co-write, and produce each other’s films. We are using the same DOPs who know our visual style, and we are all working in the same style and rhythm while shooting.”
“I can compare their experience to mine when this war was only in the East of Ukraine: the war seemed so far. There is a real parallel, because I also thought that we shouldn’t be so radical, that we should negotiate. But when you are very close to this monster, you understand that you can never negotiate. This monster will never be full, it will always be hungry,” she said.
