By Nov. 18, when a Dutch court found three men, two of them Russian and one Ukrainian, guilty of murder in absentia for shooting down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, the event had almost vanished from public memory. The court found that on July 17, 2014, a Russian-made missile supplied from Russia and fired by an armed group under Russian control in eastern Ukraine brought down the civilian flight, killing all 298 people on board, including 80 children.
Maryna Er Gorbach hadn’t forgotten. July 17, 2014, was Er Gorbach’s 33rd birthday, and the fateful day when the passenger airline was shot down over the occupied Donbas region is the starting point for her latest film, Klondike, Ukraine’s contender for the 2022 best international feature film Oscar.
“We all remember what happened on Feb. 24, 2022, when Russia started its full-scale war on Ukraine, but who talks about the Malaysian Air catastrophe?” says Er Gorbach.

Three men from the film team are fighting in Ukraine’s defence forces.
Ukrainian director Maryna Er Gorbach is presenting her film Klondike at Sarajevo Film Festival alongside women who worked on the film, while several men from the production are fighting in the country’s defence forces against the Russian invasion.
Producer, cinematographer and Gorbach’s creative partner Svyatoslav Bulakovskiy - ‘Slava’ - has been fighting for his country since the early days of the invasion in February; as have actors Oleg Shcherbina and Oleg Shevchuk.
The trio are in different regiments of the Ukrainian forces, and have avoided physical injury.
