About ‘2000 Meters to Andriivka’
The events of ‘2000 Meters to Andriivka’ take place during Ukraine’s 2023 counteroffensive. Chernov follows a platoon of Ukrainian soldiers from the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade tasked with liberating the strategically important village of Andriivka in the Donetsk region — ‘surrounded by mines and accessible only through a tiny sliver of wooded land’.
Chernov worked on the film together with his colleague, Associated Press photographer Oleksandr Babenko.
The world premiere of ‘2000 Meters to Andriivka’ took place at the Sundance Film Festival, where it won the award for Best Documentary Directing (in the World Cinema Documentary Competition category).
On August 28, the film was released in Ukrainian cinemas.
‘2000 Meters to Andriivka’ will represent Ukraine at the 2026 Oscars in the Best International Feature Film category.
